I have used several ASUS P2B-DS motherboards.=20
1) No problem. Runs a VERY busy web server with 2 333MHZ CPU's
2) Server with 2 400 MHZ CPU's can't use Top effectively or systat -vmstat=
as
it complains of clock problems and won't report CPU usage. I have been told
that this is perhaps a FreeBSD issue. As I need to upgrade the one above to=
2
450's, I will soon see.
3) A new one, with 2 333CPU's blew up after 2 days, somehow taking the
hardrive content with it. It decided that it would only run with one CPU.
After replacing the board I had to completely reinstall FreeBSD to get it =
to
boot. so far 2 days up running OK. Little scary though to loose my content =
to a
MB. Having the on-board SCSI shouldn't been an issue, should it?
I will definatly be trying some of the other boards recommended.
