Tech advice, from any who are interested.

Building a new computer. So here's the selected hardware. If you find anything wrong or incompatible please speak up.

1. Motherboard: Intel DGF965WH

2. Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe

3. Memory: Kingston 2G 800Mhz kit of 2, 1G ea.

4. Hardrive: Seagate 400GB 16Mg cache

5. Optical Drive: BenQ 1650 or

Plextor PX-755SA (undecided)

6. Case: Antec P150, ATX

OS software: Freebsd 6.1 Release configured under i386 version.

The AMD64 bit version sounded a little too raw and didn't sound like it worked for Emacs and other GNU essentials. In some future world, when more 64-bit applications are standardized and stable, then I would switch over with a 64-bit re-compiled kernel and a different ports system.
