Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm not sure if this motherboard even exists, so I'm tossing out the question here before moving it to freebsd-smp or other list. Is there a product out there that has the following features: * dual Pentium MMX CPU support * at least 75 MHz bus speed * at least 4 PCI slots * at least 3 SDRAM slots * can cache a full 512MB of RAM * on-board ultrawide SCSI * must work with FreeBSD-SMP ;-) I've always gone with ASUS, but the closest product they have is the P/I-P65UP5 and the P/E-P55T2P4D, neither of which have SDRAM support or on-board SCSI, and the P65UP5 uses a proprietary CPU daughtercard. I'm thinking of putting together a system with dual P166's or P200's, possibly overclocked to 225 MHz (75*3). Is there such a beast out there, or should I forego the SDRAM requirement (I doubt it would make a difference for what will basically be my personal gaming machine). -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@netcom.ca) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"
