Dear List,
Yes I know this is an often asked question and there is lots of info on
the web. But I have been reading for 6 hours and my head is swimming
and I'm still am not closer to an answer. I need to get a freeBSD 6
server in production in less than a week and don't have the skills to
tweak and ensure the hardware is running optimally. So I need
recommendations for a server motherboard that works well out of the box.
In summary:
I need a rock solid server motherboard for freeBSD 6 with the following
characteristics:
1 - 2 x CPU (Pentium or Opteron is ok with me)
2 - SATA (2 ports supporting RAID 1). If this is not possible, please
recommend an add-on card that will do the job.
3 - 2 x Gig Ethernet ports (I have read many things about some Ethernet
controller/drivers working better than others. I need great throughput
without tweaking the freeBSD install)
4 - RAM (As long as the mobo is modern, the RAM choices should be fast
enough)
thanks, ke han
