Hi all, Does anyone have any info about using Micron hardware with FreeBSD? I've been warned by a FreeBSD guru that a high (150+) MHz box is likely to be slower than a lesser MHz box with a better motherboard. Micron have good windoze based benchmarks, but I've also been told to ignore them when thinking about FreeBSD. Micron are at http://www.mei.micron.com/ I'm waiting for a response from their tech dept as to what bus rates their systems run at. While I'm here, does anyone have recommendations for a home machine to be used to run FreeBSD, for software development where text processing large amounts of data with perl is likely to be the thing I need to get working fast. I'm looking at something starting at the P133/32Mb RAM spec, but am happy to push both up if the spec is right. Info or pointers appreciated. cheers, rob http://nqcd.lanl.gov/~hartill
