Thanks to all of you for your responses I really apreciate it.! The reason I want this kind of board is because its cheap for me, and because I want good 2D and 3D capabilities on my FreeBSD BOX Yes there is a prejuidce about using FreeBSD as a user machine because everybody use it as a Server OS all the time, in my case I have used FreeBSD for several Years (back to 1992) and since 1994 I have used, Slackware, SuSE, Red-Hat, Debian, but I still like more FreeBSD :). I want to use Xephem (Astronomical Software, with Hi Res images (stars, planets, nebulae etc...) and simulations in 3D I Want to use The GIMP (Graphic Image Manipulation Program) I want to use, Galeon or Netscape And maybe 1 or 2 3D games like Quake. MPEG or AVI video Star Office and maybe Applixware KDE 2 apps. hope this info put things into perspective, besides, this phrase: "Turning PCs into Workstations!" itīs from FreeBSD doesnīt it? But for the server side (for those who still see FreeBSD as a Server OS), I want to run a Webserver, FTP server and a Proxy and Firewall for my internal Network (4 PCs) all this with a cable connection.. greetings for all of you, from Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, The Maya Land.
