I'm thinking of upgrading my old P133 FreeBSD machine with a new Motherboard, RAM and an AMD K6-2 350. They're less than 60 bucks now. :) I'm thinking about 64 megs of RAM minimum, maybe more depending on my budget. I have a Win95 machine running on an ASUS P5A motherboard which seems really nice. Thinking of getting another just the same, or maybe an ASUS P5A-B which is pretty much the same but it's baby AT size. I plan to use the machine as a X Workstation, HTTP-FTP-TELNET server, NATD Gateway, and SAMBA server. I really don't want to spend more than 300 bucks for Motherboard, CPU, RAM, and Case (if neccessary). My questions are: 1.) Does FreeBSD and AMD K6-2 350 make a good combination as far as performance, speed, and stability goes? 2.) Other than ASUS motherboards, what would be another good choice for a low cost FreeBSD Workstation/Server?
