So far, I've been offered the following (I'm having serious problems trying to find companies interested in actually selling a system that's not a `standard' configuration) and I'd appreciate opinions on their compatability and performance with FreeBSD. Motherboards: ASUS TX97-XE Elitegroup P5TX-Apro Elitegroup P6LX-A+ `Tekram Intel Triton TX' (ATX formfactor) - I don't have an exact model I realise that the socket-7 boards are all 430-TX and therefore (effectively) limited to 64M of RAM, but no-one seems to offer any non-Intel motherboards. SCSI Controllers: Mylex KT-958 - I don't think this is supported. ASUS SC-875 - This uses the Symbios controller so I believe it's supported. Ethernet: Intel 10/100 PCI (no exact model given) SMC EtherPower II PCI 10/100baseT Accton EN1207B (Cheetah) - I'm not sure of the chipset and so don't know if this is supported.
