Does anyone have any suggestions for a good motherboard (or SMP chipset) that will work very well with FreeBSD (4.2-S) ? I intend to have this system configured as follows: * SMP motherboard with 2x Pentium III-800 * 256 MB internal memory * On-board SCSI (SCSI-2 U2W LVD or U160) or PCI card (like Adaptec 2940) * 2x Atlas V 9.1 GB (striping and softupdates) * Matrox G400 MAX 32 MB dual-headed with one 19" and one 17" on XFree86 4.0.2 Any suggestions, comments? -- Ernst To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
