I've got a SuperMicro 440GX board in a server here, I think it's a S2DGU. (It's a dual Xeon board with an onboard 7890) It seems to work fine, although it only has one processor on board (400MHz Xeon, 512K cache), so I can't say anything about its SMP performance or behavior. It has 512MB of RAM, FWIW. Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@kdm.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
