Essentially, I'd like a board with at *least* 6 PCI-X slots, and perhaps

with up to 16GB of memory).
Why would you go with PCI-X? it's slow and getting end-of life..
go for PCI-Express.
there are quad PCI-E gigabit cards available.
Much lower packet latency.
As per my last email to Sten and the list...
I'm not a hardware person. PCI-E, PCI-X, I don't know the difference.
It was assumed that others would understand what I wanted and be able to
make recommendations to me, and correct me on my terminology.
All I do know is that there is something more than ISA slots, and 386's
now ;)
My request wasn't for clarification on motherboard technicalities, it
was essentially a request on a recommendation for a hardware/software
platform based on FreeBSD, that could possibly replace a Cisco 7206-VXR
based on the NPE-G2 processing engine (or equivalent).
Juniper is based on FreeBSD. ;-)
