Most consumer motherboards will work. However, with regards to "RAID 1 configuration", what are you planning on using for RAID 1? A RAID controller, or something like gmirror(8) which is software/OS-based RAID in FreeBSD? (Most people will strongly recommend using software/OS-based RAID, for a lot of good reasons.) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
