I may be talking rubbish, > though ;-) Cheap hardware has a better chance of being supported. If you stick with the name brand stuff, you could piece together a box that'll work great and work great with FreeBSD.

The box also came with an AWE64, therefore I'm happy. - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
