Has anyone installed FreeBSD using this board?
Gigabyte 8S648FX -RZ ATX SiS648FX P4 Motherboard.

SiS 648FX chipset
Processor: Socket 478 for IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 processor
Chipset:
North-bridge: SiS648FX
South-bridge: SiS963L MuTIOLŪ Media I/O
CMedia 9761A Codec chip
ICS1883 LAN chip
Any hardware incompatibilities I should know of? Should I avoid it like the
plague? Or is it a nice, reliable, stable board?
I don't see much mention in the hardware compatibility list for SiS chipsets.
is there somewhere else I can look to find "recommended" motherboards?
I'm intending putting an Intel P4 3.2GHz CPU in and DDR400 ram.
It'd be nice if all the onboard stuff would play nicely with FreeBSD
Just standard hardware with no exotic devices. Should work out of the
box. I use a SiS chipset in my server as well. Maybe your LAN chip will
not be reconized out of hte box but I think it will. There's just one
way to find out ;)
And I'm not sure what you want to do with it, but if you want to make it
a server a 3.2 Ghz is way too much processing power. I have a 2Ghz with
400 MHz FSB and it's still "too fast".
