I am wondering if anyone can recommend a good Pentium mainboard which will cache 128 Megs of ram in 70 Pin SIMMS. My hardware guy said they stopped making the ASUS board he knew of and found a FIC PA-2007 which looks like it may do the job. However this board uses the VIA VP2 chipset and I am not sure how that has worked out. I already have 4 64Meg simms, so I need to find some motherboards I can utilize this ram in. On a second though, is it important to have all your memory cached on a FreeBSD system? I have heard the primary impact is in other OSes where things are loaded at the upper end of the available ram first. If anyone has had experience with a FIC PA-2007 on a semi-heavily loaded server, I would appreciate hearing of your experiences with that board.
