Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear Sirs. I read about SMP problems with i840 based motherboards and it is well known that this chipset has some serius bugs. So we want to obtain two or three server mainboards from TYAN (TYAN Thunder 2500) as it is available on market. This mainboard has execellent specifications and it it based on the RCC ServerWorks III HE chipset which is supposed to be on of the best high end chipsets. Purchasing is planned at the end of May or middle of June. Has anyone experiences with this chipset and can tell me whether FBSD 4.0 supports this chipset? The TYAN Thunder 2500 comes with two independent SCSI-3 160m LVD channels, I think based on SymBios Logic chipsets. Is this type of chipset already supported in FBSD 4.0? Well, your answer is highly appreciated since I have to make decisions based on that. So, have many thanks in advance and kind regards, O.
