It uses the = ServerWorks LE chipset (not the HE), but I can tell you that I have been = extremely pleased with it. Ours has 1GB of RAM, and only a single hard = drive on the SCSI chain. It's lightning fast, and very stable. - Matt >>> Armin Ollig 03/07/01 11:04AM >>> Gentlemen,=20 iam about to buy hardware for a FreeBSD file server. I dont understand much of all those fancy chipset names, however i thought either an asus CUV4X-DLS (VIA chipset) or a tyan Thunder HEsl (S2567) may work well. Question is are they fully supported, are there better boards for FreeBSD ? The primary use will be file service (about 20 disks attached (IDE and SCSI), network connection via gigabit.=20 Thanks for your suggestions ! --Armin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org=20 with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
