Need user Info
Group.. I've read a lot of good information on this newsgroup.. I
know there are other resources available for the kind of information I am asking here, and in addition to that, I was hoping I could get some recommendations here also. Google searches yield irrelevant results, even with modifiers. To avoid wasting everyone's time, which is valuable, I'm posting the requirements that I'm looking for. I have purchased a Desktop PC Case, that will fit a MicroATX motherboard. The specifications do not appear to support Intel processors, but seem to work on AMD brand processors. Here, I know I've already limited my availability for the board I can use, however, I'm not looking for massive upgradeability.. just a machine that shares files. I've read mixed reviews of the Realtek chipsets for (onboard/add-in) Ethernet boards. I'd like to steer clear of the Realtek chipsets. It would be NICE to have onboard IEEE1394 but not a requirement. It would also be NICE to have dual LAN but I doubt that's gonna happen. An available AGP slot would be benefitial. I have the room to put one in for slots on the back of the case. The brand of board, should I say, is irrelevant. I've searched my favorite companies with not much success. For as much as possible -- I have an existing AMD Athlon XP 1700+ CPU & PC2700 DDR RAM. Reusing those would be benefitial and cost saving (I don't need the top-o-the-line CPU power or RAM speed. 5+ years later, maybe.. but we're talking now. Everything else is fine about the board, I would imagine. The machine will run either FreeBSD or OpenBSD, and connected to a UPS. And where you come in, is if you've have used, or are using a board that even comes *CLOSE* to fitting this description I would like to hear about. I know times and models upgrade. I still would like to hear about it. Thanks many in Advance! Tim |
