Nice, esp when you compile world. Last year I upgraded our server to a Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz, Intel DG965 board. 2GB RAM. Previous board was an ASUS P3 1.1GHz, which now hosts my backup server. Both ran FreeBSD file/print/email/web services perfectly. I upgraded to get the onboard SATA sockets so I could increase our available disk space (4x500GB in RAID5 for data). However, a nice benefit is that the Core2 will compile world in 1/4 the time, and user don't notice the server is 'busy'. SO, to the original question, yes that motherboard will work just fine. What are you doing for system backups? A single drive is not enough. I recommend a mirror pair at least, and suggest a second box for backups. -- DA Fo rsyth Network Supervisor Principal Technical Officer -- Institute for Water Research http://www.ru.ac.za/institutes/iwr/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
