If you search freebsd-questions/hardware you will find other people who have had problems with SD-11s. I finally resolved my SD-11 crashing problems by: - Replacing power supply with one which is on AMD's approved list (cut frequency of crashes from minutes to 1-2 days) - Upgrading BIOS. I was using an ATI Rage Pro video card and there was some issues with this card and the SD-11. There was a BIOS upgrade in Janurary/Feburary of this year which seemed to have completly fixed my crashing problems. I would not purchase another SD-11 based on my experiences. johnl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
