Cost is no consideration (ie the cost difference between AMD and Intel) Should I go AMD 1.2Ghz or PIII 1Ghz ? Should use a motherboard with a VIA chipset or i810 i815 i820 (I will most likely be using a GigaByte motherboard) Will I have any problems with any of the above? I will of course be running FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE Which Processor/Motherboard will give me best performance? Thank all..... --------------------------------------------- Receive faxes 24x7, no second line necessary. http://www.mbox.com.au/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
