Hi, Well, after doing some more research I found out that indeed I will have to make a switch of motherboard in order to be able to use the Adaptec 2200S PCI-64 66MHz U320 RAID controller to the fullest. Now, the only parts I can get for a reduced price are Asus parts. So, I have found the following candidate: Asus NCT-D (more info: http://www.asus.com/produ...l1=9&l2=39&l3=106) Interestingly enough, for once, even FreeBSD is mentioned (be it version 4.9) on the list of supported OSes. :) In terms of processors I have the following options: -Intel Xeon 2.8GHz, 800Mhz 1MB cache, Active 1+ € 190 -Intel Xeon 3.0GHz, 800Mhz 1MB cache, Active € 238 -Intel Xeon 3.2GHz, 800Mhz 1MB cache, Active € 285 Now, just to be extremely sure that I do not again get hardware that will not fit my needs, can anyone tell me the following: -Does the combination of the Asus NCT-D + 1 of these mentioned Xeon processors fully support EM64T? -I couldn't find this particular board on the list of supported motherboards at http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html but does anyone know if this board + Xeon will work with the FreeBSD 5.4 Release (amd64) version? Thanks in advance, and kind regards, Olafo
