The board supports 2x1GHz PIII CPUs and max. 2GB PC100 RAM. We have absolutelly no problems, issues with this mobo running FreeBSD 4.0/4.2. It has the following onboard components: - Adaptec Ultra2/Ultra-Wide dual SCSI (LVD, 40/80 MB/s) - Intel 82559 Network Adapter (EtherExpress Pro 100) - Cirrus 2MB VGA - 6 PCI Slots If you want Quantum HD, then look for the new 10K, it's much faster than the Atlas and really quiet. -Andrew -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
