Well, I was looking mostly at boards with the Intel E7500 chipset or Serverworks GC-LE chipset from Tyan and Supermicro. Tyan actually had a Serverworks GC-LE board on their website last week which is no longer there right now, so I guess it's not quite ready for primetime. I'm probably going to stick to a pIII solution as I was unaware these boards were brand new. My only concern is stuff like Registered ECC PC133 SDRAM or even the 512k PIII's becoming harder to find in the near future, so I guess I'll just have to stock up. Thanks for all the suggestions! -Adrian At 12:23 PM 4/3/2002 -0800, David Greenman wrote: >>Hi, >>We build servers exclusively with FreeBSD. And, we only use Intel >>Server Boards for many reasons.
