Hi,

I was looking for some new hardware to buy. I'm interested especially in the
M4*/M3* boards from Asus with the AMD 785G/SB710, 780G/SB700 and nForce 720a
chips. I can't find real evidence on the supported hardware list whether the
following chipsets are really working with FreeBSD 8.0 or not. Maybe
somebody else has already tested them:

SATA:
- AMD SB700
- AMD SB710

Ethernet:
- Realtek RTL8112L (RTL811xS is supported)
- Realtek RTL8211CL

Sound:
- VIA VT1708S (VT1708 and VT1708B are supported)
- Realtek ALC887 (ALC88x, x=0/2/3/5/8/9 are supported)

Polywell has a box that has exactly the hardware from the 785G boards.
FreeBSD is listed under the supported OSes, but I don't know how much that
means:

I would appreciate any experiences.

Thanks,
Anselm
