I'm still shure it will be an AMD64 system with PCI/Express onboard. I think I'll try to get my hands on a board with VIA KT890 instead of nforce4 because from what I heard, via is better supported from FreeBSD. The thing with gfx is now... I've no idea what to buy. All I need is - PCIe - 2 monitor support - non-fan cooling (passiv cooling) it looks like, both nvidia and ati don't have a 3d driver which will work on amd64 right? As far as I can see there are two choices left: - Gigabyte GeForce 6600, 128MB DDR, DVI, TV-out, PCIe (GV- NX66128DP) - Sapphire Radeon X300 Lite both cards provide a 2nd monitor option so I can use xinerama (or am I worng?) and are cooled w/o a fan. I guess(!) that the ATI case produces less heat which makes me tend to that one.

I was advised to try a few things. I've done memtest86 from CD, let it do 5 passes and it found no problems. I unplugged both CDs and the Floppy, and tried it, but still did the same. cpuburn seems fine. doing mbmon whilst executing the portupgrade -a command shows the temperature get to around 42.5 before it resets, but it can vary.

If nvidia's track record is anything to go by (ie, native freebsd drivers for 3d), I'd stick with the nvidia card. Even if they don't have a native 3d driver available for amd64 yet, there's a much greater chance they'll have one sooner or later. Compare ati who, as far as I am aware, have never released a freebsd-native 3d driver.

I decided to go with an old FlexATX Pentium III based mainboard, and a Compaq NC3131 dual port 10/100 ethernet adapter. Specifically, I am using an ECS P6IWP-Fe rev 2 mainboard with a Pentium III 850/100 processor, 256MB of RAM, and a Toshiba/IBM 2.5" HDD. This board has an onboard RealTek 8139 10/100 adapter that, ironically, doesn't seem to have any problems. The only other hardware onboard is the Compaq NC3131 dual 10/100 adapter, and a USB to serial converter. The problem is that packets seem to "hiccup" all the time. The actual data rate is fine, but the packet stream will "pause" for nearly a second, then continue. This is most apparent during shell access (either xterm or ssh). Characters will stop showing up, then stream out quickly once the system "catches up". When running top, the affect appears as tearing. Other protocols have the same problem. Web pages will pause momentarily during loading, then almost snap in. The affect is very "jerky". There are no errors showing up in the log, and the problem seems to come and go frequently. (the interface will work fine for a few seconds, start jerking for a few seconds, then go back to normal for a few seconds). I also tried running the local interface through the rl0 interface, and the jerkiness went away. I'm almost tempted to just drop a 3Com 3c905TX in, and use the RealTek interface as the WAN port. I know that the RealTek chips have a poor reputation, but so far it is working much better than the fxp ports! FYI - I attempted to run 5.3-REL, and the problem appears to go away. I would be tempted to just run 5.3, except that I have had stability problems with it, even after turning ACPI support off. Lastly, I tried using the board both with and without using the link0 option on the ports. Any idea what is going on?

The onboard via8237 (Realtek ALC850) sound works fine through the analog jacks on my speakers (with snd_via8233 in the kernel config), but when I switch to the SPDIF jacks and set hw.snd.pcm0.spdif_enabled to 1, I get no sound. I know it's not a hardware problem, because SPDIF out works in Linux. It's not a huge issue because I have working analog, but I would kind of like to get SPDIF working. Is there something else I need to do to enable it? The system is FreeBSD 5.4-PRERELEASE (amd64), just cvsupped a few hours ago.

I've bought a Netgear WG311T wlan card with an Atheros chipset (not that one with Texas Instruments chipset) _especially_ for my VIA EPIA VE5000 baord which works very good with 5.3-RELEASE after having many problems with prism54 cards and FreeBSD on other systems in the past... But after loading the if_ath kernel module nothing happens... There's no new device and 'pciconf -lv' only lists that: ... none1@pci0:20:0: class=0x820000 card=0xcd001385 chip=0x8013168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' ... I thought that it _must_ work because under Windows SiSoft Sandra listed that it has an Atheros AR5212 chip... Now I've looked at the card and it's an AR5213A. Is it possible to get it work under FreeBSD? Maybe CURRENT???

The board worked fine under 5.3-REL, and the switch (a Dlink DES-3624) works great with even marginal boards. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to check netstat on this system. I didn't even think about it - partly due to my wife grumbling about the phone not working... (we use vonage) So, I decided to go ahead and pull the board, and just live with the rl interface for now. It "works", and given how much my wife talks on the phone, I'm not sure I can afford the downtime ;) That said, the router "feels" slower. It could be the lower speed processor (850/100MHz PIII vs a 1.2G/133MHz PIII), but this router was never CPU bound (load average never budged from 0, unless I was compiling new packages). That said, I can drop the board in the old router chassis, and check out the netstat info; but you are probably right about the legacy support. I'll install 5.3, and cvsup to 5.4 on the old machine, and give it another go. I was just so surprised at seeing kernel panics (after having gone for several years without seeing one) that I probably over-reacted. Argh - I'll be glad when the 5.x line settles down. I remember 4.0 - ~4.4 not being terribly stable either at the time, but 4.8 through 4.11 have been incredible. Other than power failures and upgrades, I haven't had any service outages on these systems.

Because I don't want to change immediately to CURRENT I did a cvsup to RELENG_5_3 and then the ath driver recognized the Netgear WG311T but I've got an error (from ath_hal). (If someone wants to know the output, please ask.) ... Another thing I wanted to try is an Allnet 0281 wlan card with this driver: http://green.homeunix.org/~green/prism54-driver/pff/ which works good on another CURRENT system and a prism54 card (I thought the Allnet 0281 has a prism chipset like the Allnet 0271)... But then the ath driver recognized the Allnet 0281 (which is not listed in the ath manpage) because it also has an Atheros AR5213 chip: ath0@pci0:20:0: class=0x020000 card=0x3ab01186 chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' device = 'AR5213 802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter' class = network subclass = ethernet and now it works fine!!! :-))) Maybe these informations are useful for people who want to buy a new one...

I don't boot into bsd at home much though, since I mostly use that system for gaming, so it's been a while since I've even tried to bring this card up, and I don't actually remember what I needed to do (but I was reading from the handbook, so theoretically it's all in there). But I *have* succeeded with the ath driver on a couple of occasions. I haven't managed to bring it up using DHCP though, nor could I bring up sk0 for my ethernet card using DHCP (although both lan and wireless work with DHCP in Windows).

I bought a notebook with the audio Chipset VIa 1612A. The driver that works is the snd_via8233.. The problem is that when I move the touchpad or I type to the keyboard i listen very ittle "clippp", "popp", "zz"... I tried to lower / increase the targetirqrate with sysctl... but the problem remain... Under other O.S. the sound works well.. I use FreeBSD 5.3-p5 And I think it's a bug in the driver....

The same for cpuburn. The best stress test is running a make buildword, a make install for scilab, and a find /. If that does not do it, it is most likely a intermitently flakey power supply.
