Thus spake Greg 'groggy' Lehey (grog@FreeBSD.org) [04/04/05 20:40]: : The moral of the story is, I suppose, "don't buy the MSI K8T : Master2-FAR". I was warned about the motherboard before I bought it, : but at the time it was the only game in town. Now I know of other : places with (hopefully) better boards. I'd like to second this. I have it, and it's caused me *no* end of memory issues. I've gone through ~6GB of 512MB and 1GB kits from OCZ which *all* test fine when they do them, but I've only gotten one current 1GB kit to work properly on my board. And I can't use ECC; FreeBSD and memtest86+ both spontaneously reboot when it's enabled. Too bad the purchase cost broke me, otherwise I'd buy a new board.
