Re: NVidia Riva TNT2 64 ?

[Lucas Holt]

I can't comment on the video cards, but the realtek NIC chipset might 
cause you some problems.  I recently had to replace a realtek based NIC 
in a lowend server with a 3com because of oversized packets in the logs 
and the server would halt after about a week up.  If you are using the 
machine casually it should be ok, but if you plan to leave it up I'd 
recommend getting a different NIC.

Sound blaster live cards should work in later 5.x releases.  I know 
5.2.1 suports them.  AMD processors work really well with FreeBSD.
