I have a Supermicro P6DGS D = dual processor G = 440GX chipset (the idea being that 440GX is the lastest rev of 440BX, and should have any bugs fixed in it) S = dual channel ultra wide SCSI (both single channel/bridge U2W SCSI (U suffix) and EIDE only (E) are available. Those flavors also give you 5 PCI slots (1 shared ISA) instead of 4 (1 shared)). I've got piles of old SCSI devices, and didn't want the fast traffic on the same wires as those drives & cables with questionable electrical parameters. About $400. My one complaint is that I can't find anyway in the BIOS to disable the boot-time keyboard check :-( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
