The most interesting power/price ratio i've found so far is build around a Gigabyte GA 6VXC7 4x mainboard. As i want to use this box with FBSD, i would like to know if the ATA-66 Controller of this card is recognized as such, or if it falls back in 16 MB/sec. The only infos i get about the chipset say it's a VIA 694x Apollo Pro (ATA 33/66) and the ata man pages in both Stable and Current pretend that only VIA 82C586 and 82C686 are supported. Is the 694x a entirely different chip ? (I've found no mention of the 82C586 and 82C686 chips in the mainboard documentations). If someone is using such a card, it would be nice to send me its advice. Thanks, -- Éric Jacoboni, né il y a 1273165471 secondes.
