System advice requested

[Willem Jan Withagen]

Hi,

If I were to get a dual opteron board/system what things would be
to watch out for, or would be required. Hardware wise that is.

In the beginning I would like to use is as:
    1) FreeBSD/windows/linux desktop
and lateron it would turn into my 
    2) Home NFS/Samba-server running FBSD

In case 2) I'd remove any fancy user-interface stuff...

All suggestions welcomed,

Thanx,
