Dear List, Yes I know this is an often asked question and there is lots of info on the web. But I have been reading for 6 hours and my head is swimming and I'm still am not closer to an answer. I need to get a freeBSD 6 server in production in less than a week and don't have the skills to tweak and ensure the hardware is running optimally. So I need recommendations for a server motherboard that works well out of the box. In summary: I need a rock solid server motherboard for freeBSD 6 with the following characteristics: 1 - 2 x CPU (Pentium or Opteron is ok with me) 2 - SATA (2 ports supporting RAID 1). If this is not possible, please recommend an add-on card that will do the job. 3 - 2 x Gig Ethernet ports (I have read many things about some Ethernet controller/drivers working better than others. I need great throughput without tweaking the freeBSD install) 4 - RAM (As long as the mobo is modern, the RAM choices should be fast enough) thanks, ke han
