I am looking in to purchasing a=20 new system this summer consisting of an AMD 2100 or better CPU, MSI MS-6380E KT3-Ultra ARU Mobo, 512 - 1 Gig of Corsair RAM,=20 either ATI All-in-Wonder 8500DV Video card, or a Matrox Parhelia 512 card. RAID 0 with around 120-160 Gig of space, a Phillips DVD-R. I have been watching the lists and reviews, trying to find out what the best hardware is out there right now, and going with it when I=20 get this system. I was wondering if anybody had any opinions about this hardware, and=20 if they would share. --=20 /----------------------------------------------------------------\ | Bob Bomar bulldog@fxp.org http://www.bomar.us/~bob | |=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D| | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve. http://www.freeBSD.org | \----------------------------------------------------------------/ --0OAP2g/MAC+5xKAE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE89thC9Jm/aTrtdKoRAoaCAJ4jktMCL6SIyS43ZhYkegF1cExuSwCfT9pK F9JPcbiTsQbvsNRYFhd7BuM= =kxSz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --0OAP2g/MAC+5xKAE-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
