Can't say anything about the above, but ... A really nice motherboard that works really well with FreeBSD 6.3 and FreeBSD 7.0 is the Asus M2N-LR: http://ca.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=9&l2=39&l3=263&l4=0&model=1352&modelmenu=1 This is a single-socket AM2 motherboard with support for 1000-series AMD Opteron processors (single or dual-core). 4 RAM slots supports up to 4 GB of DDR-800 RAM, 2x Broadcom gigabit NICs onboard (attached to PCIe), 6 SATA connectors. Expansion slots include a 16x PCIe slot, two 64-bit/133 MHz PCI-X slots, and a 32-bit/33 MHz PCI slot. We're using these for our gateway/router/firewall boxes without any issues running FreeBSD 6.3 and FreeBSD 7.0. We installed a 4-port Intel Pro/1000 gigabit NIC, dual-core Opteron CPU, 2 GB RAM, and a single 80 GB SATA HD in ours. Beautiful little things. Haven't been able to crash it yet. And fairly inexpensive (just under $1100 CDN in short 2U rackmountable cases when we purchased them in Jan 08, for the config above). Everything except one memory controller has drivers attached to it in pciconf -vl output, even on 6.3. -- Freddie Cash [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
