They also all offer an SMP version of their MB's
(planning for FreeBSD-SMP :-). They have 4 ISA
and 4 PCI if you look for the right one.
> SCSI Host adapter: Several NCR 53c8xx is a _very_ good choice --
like 2 controllers (1~2 disks / controller,
and use ccd across 2/3 disks for news spool =
10-15 Mb / sec!). PCI.
> SCSI Hard drives: Whatever you feel comfortable with.
> SCSI CD-ROM: Plextor ? NEC ? Some people hate Sony.
> Ethernet card: DEC chipsets, 10 or 100, 100 is cheaper and
cheaper. 3Com is a very good card, worth
the extra bucks. Both come in PCI.
> Thanks in advance, Sergey (sergey@extech.msk.su).
For generally top-level tips, see the list archives,
search for 'Joe Greco', 'ccd', 'news server' :-)))
