Also, dmesg doesn't seem to indicate firewire is there, but there are a few unknowns that might be firewire. I primarily bought this board because of the AGP slot, Althon support and general reviews by overclockers and gamers, though I've read of some trouble with RAID and firewire on some OSes but haven't tried it myself. I figured if I really want to go with RAID I'll invest in a separate controller with a good reputation. Anyhoot, for general use these boards seem to work fine, and it sounds like it's not a big deal for you to not have firewire support, so there ya go. Have fun! :) - jt _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
