Yes, the A7V works with FreeBSD, and an 850TBIRD is *fast* As Brett mentioned, it doesn't support ECC memory (The KT133 chipset) and comes with the Promise ATA-100 controller. As for what ftp.cdrom.com runs, all I could dig up was a Xeon/500 with 4GB memory and 1/2 TB of RAID 5 storage. I used to have a link to what the machine was, but I can't seem to find it. -- Good Luck, -Neill freebsd@nc.rr.com DRN> On Tuesday 10 April 2001 19:57, you wrote: >> I'm planning on upgrading my computer [at least the motherboard] >> >> My question is what have you guys found to be good motherboards? >> Or which ones should I definitely not touch? >> >> I'm looking for one that can handle about an 700+ mhz processor >> Currently I've been looking at AMD [Athlon and Thunderbird] as they >> are much cheaper than Intel Pentium III's. >> >> So what are good mobos for that kinda processor power?
