My machine is based on GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3P motherboard with Intel Code 2 Duo processor, 2GB fast 800Mhz DDR2 ram in dual-channel configuration and three Seagate 7200.11 750GB disks connected to the motherboard SATA controler running in AHCI mode. The motherboard uses Realtek 8111B network chipset to provide the gigabit ethernet. Does that info help anything? - Juho Mäkinen This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
