Hi! I am working on some specs for a machine I am going to build, and I have been unable to resolve the following 3 concerns. I would really appreciate some input from others who may have stumbled across similar issues. 1) The system will never be used for X or any other graphical application, I would like to keep costs down by using a very basic VGA card. Is there a major difference in system performance if I used a ISA card instead of a PCI card? Is there a minimum specification that should be observed? 2) When selecting RAM, does parity vs. non-parity memory affect the system in any way (stability, performance, etc.)? 3) What differnces exist between MMX and non-MMX CPU's of the same speed (with regards to FreeBSD)? Which is prefered? Thanks! Dan dan@sns.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
