I'm long overdue to build out a new x86/x64 system to run (primarily)
OpenIndiana on, and I looking for comments and suggestions from others who have
recently done the same.
I have already reviewed our HCL here:
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Motherboards
But I fear it is dated, as the last update was almost a year ago.
I'm planning to run an Intel CPU due to some issues with another OS, and I need
it to handle at least 32 Gb of ram. This is for me at $HOME, but I run a lot of
zones + virtualization via VirtualBox.
Size - I own a small collection of old Sun Ultra 20 cases that I like to use, so
I am looking for an ATX sized board.
If it matters, I typically always run an NVIDIA frame buffer as they seem to be
the path of least resistance and always have nice *Solaris drivers.
Thanks for any comments,
Jerry
