I am going to build a new server! (I'm excited) below is my shopping = list, this all started with a desire to have a Raid FreeBSD system. RAID led me to = 3Ware, current offerings from 3Ware were of *only* the 64 Bit PCI flavor, my = current MB didn't have it [Cheep SIS with (1) Athlon XP2400+ with WD PATA IDE 40GB] = So I looked for mainboards that had a 66Mhz 64bit PCI slot, from 3Ware's = hardware compatibility list. Found a good one I hope with the Gigabyte board. So = now I'm thinking instead of FreeBSD 5.3 or 5.4 to go with the FreeBSD-AMD64 = version. Comments welcome, anyone see any issues? Anyone else have a Gigabyte board with (GA-7A8DW AMD 8111/8131)=20 Chipset running AMD-64? Also my video card will be a Geforce 4 Ti 4200 4x AGP, I like to run X = so I can see high res real time logs... =20 8006-2LP KIT ESCALADE 8006-2LP 1 141.47 = 141.47 WD2500SD WD CAVIAR 250GB RAID ED.SATA-3 2 149.98 = 299.96 GA-7A8DW SERVER BOARDAMD 81118131+81 1 340.86 = 340.86 TITAN 550 ANTEC TITAN SERIES 550 CASE 1 209.87 = 209.87 OSA242AUBOX OPTERON DP SERVER 242 PIB-R 2 217.77 = 435.54 KRX3200AK2/1G 1GB KIT(2X512)DDR400 REG HY 1 415.80 = 415.80 Not bad for around $2,000.00 USD Eh?
