I am having all kinds of trouble with Pentium PCI boards and my BSD 2.0. With some
boards I cannot even boot from the install disk...others lock up and crash....

This will be a very heavy traffic news server...
My hopeful configuration:
	Pentium 100 Mhz
	32 MB RAM
	BusLogic PCI adapter
	HP,Quantum and Micropolis SCSI 2 drives for 9 Gig total

I have tried Intel boards and taiwan boards

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good motherboard?


Please Email directly....thanks for all responses
