I am going to build a new server! (I'm excited) below is my shopping =
list, this
all started with a desire to have a Raid FreeBSD system.  RAID led me to =
3Ware,
current offerings from 3Ware were of *only* the 64 Bit PCI flavor, my =
current MB
didn't have it [Cheep SIS with (1) Athlon XP2400+ with WD PATA IDE 40GB] =
 So I
looked for mainboards that had a 66Mhz 64bit PCI slot, from 3Ware's =
hardware
compatibility list.  Found a good one I hope with the Gigabyte board. So =
now I'm
thinking instead of FreeBSD 5.3 or 5.4 to go with the FreeBSD-AMD64 =
version.

Comments welcome, anyone see any issues?

Anyone else have a Gigabyte board with (GA-7A8DW  AMD 8111/8131)=20
Chipset running AMD-64?

Also my video card will be a Geforce 4 Ti 4200 4x AGP, I like to run X =
so
I can see high res real time logs...
