if your machine is just doing spamd, allocate a lot more of your ram
for this by increasing bufcachepct in the kernel

Or are you saying that caching the reads would help with the I/O bottle
neck just as effectively? I would be surprised by that, especially
since it's RAID1.
HorseCookies. Think about it. The slowest ram on earth [1]
runs rings around the fastest raid stuff you can find. Disk

*nod* Wise advice. I thought I was careful, but obviously not
careful enough.
Precisely why I'm asking for recommendations for hardware that
people have had good experiences with. :)

For AMD64:
Tyan Motherboards seams to be pretty solid.
I had also no luck with ASUS, they simply just suck.
For INTEL:
Intel Motherboards
There's not that much choice (for me) at the market anymore.
Most vendors build crappy boards to provide the latest shit.

I installed 3.7 from my offical CD on a 512MB CF card per card reader

The Problem is, that OpenBSD only detecs 64MB ran instead of 128 MB.
it's a bug in wrap's bios and fixed in version 1.07.
That was it.
