The count on the screen showed 16MB, setup showed 16MB, yet mem in DOS show only 8MB as well as FreeBSD. Really strange??? So, I bought a Zappa M/B switch everything over (CPU & cards) turned it on - all 16 MB RAM is showing in FreeBSD. One thing different showing up during boot-up is the following: ********** what's showing up now with the zappa board *************** Dec 31 10:59:28 eztravel /kernel: Probing for devices on the pci0 bus: Dec 31 10:59:28 eztravel /kernel: configuration mode 1 allows 32 devices. Dec 31 10:59:29 eztravel /kernel: pci0:0: INTEL CORPORATION, device=0x122d, class=bridge [not supported] Dec 31 10:59:29 eztravel /kernel: pci0:7: INTEL CORPORATION, device=0x122e, class=bridge [not supported] **************** what show'd up with the neptune motherboard *********** Dec 30 21:43:20 eztravel /kernel: Probing for devices on the pci0 bus: Dec 30 21:43:20 eztravel /kernel: configuration mode 2 allows 16 devices. Dec 30 21:43:21 eztravel /kernel: chip0 rev 17 on pci0:0 Dec 30 21:43:21 eztravel /kernel: chip1 rev 3 on pci0:2 Is this a serious problem? What does the class=bridge[not supported] mean? Is this something I can change in setup? I can bring the motherboard back next week (tues/weds) if this is going to create major problems down the road and live with the 8mb ram on the neptune m/b. X runs a lot faster with the Zappa and 16mb... Bob
