Hi,

Forgot to mention: FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE cvsuped today. Kernel is stripped down
for my hardware and it's SMP.

The Machine:
Intel Pentium D 820
2GB PC600 Dual channel DDR
300GB SATAII disk
Motherboard ASRock 775Dual-880Pro
Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS 320MB DDR

The card and overall system works with windows XP.

TIA
Regards,
