DelMore" Subject: Recommended Hardware Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I need to build two new mail servers and am seeking feedback as to recommended hardware, in particular, compatible motherboards. As I see it I have two choices, Pentium III 500 and the new AMD Athelon, I have always used AMD in the past but have had repeated problems with their 450 MHz K6 processors which I clocked down in order to gain stability. Our (now) typical mail server uses AMD K6 300 - 400 CPUS, 256 MB RAM, single SCSI LVD boot drive, Adaptec 2940U2W and is NFS mounted to our RAID arrays where mail is spooled/delivered. Your input is appreciated. Thank you. Noel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
