Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello all, I'm in the process of obtaining a new server for our corporate needs. The new server will be a central SQL server, serving dynamic web sites hosted on another machine. I wanted to get advise from those of you who had done this before. I was thinking of buying an ASUS or an Intel motherboard (reliability), w/ one of the newest P-III's, 512MB of RAM memory, and hardware RAID-1, w/ LCD SCSI disks. Adaptec would be my choice of SCSI and RAID-1 card. If any of can recommend either of the above mentioned hardware, or maybe say that "this" hardware is better than that one, and such, then please do. I would need all the help you can give. Thanks again, and if there's a place where I can read more about this, please direct me to it. Have a good day.
