If good random generation is important for your server try to get a
motherboard with an Intel 8xx chipset (for Pentium III or IV) which
has Intel's firmware hub (ASUS motherboards don't have one, Intel
motherboards of course do). It'll provide you with a hardware RNG
which is supported by NetBSD:

pchb0: Intel 82865 Host (rev. 0x02)
pchb0: random number generator enabled
