Sorry, I can't answer your question but I can recommend the Tualatin especially with the intel S815EBM1 mobo and Infineon RAM. Although no ECC, together with a 3wrae RAID I have uptimes now for almost 2 years. And the 1.13 verision is affordable and has plenty of reserve-power for my needs. -Harry owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG wrote: > Hi > > It was early of the year 2000 when I got very good suggestions from > here to buy BX based motherboard, if any.
