  I've just moved into my new office space and have decided to build a new
BSD box here.  So I have a few questions for anyone who has an opinion:

1)  What ethernet card is the best choice for an EISA machine that would be doing NFS?

2) What SCSI adapter for same EISA box is the best as far as most stable?

3) I've got an ATI Mach32 w/ 2MB of VRAM.  Does that perform well in X or would
something else (priced comparably) be a better choice?

Thanks for the advice,
Craig

PS:  What are the specs for wcarchive's machine?  Just curious as to what it wasexactly...
