Butler" X-Sender: stephen@platon To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Intel M/Bs with FreeBSD. Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hardware@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Has anybody got any experience in using the Intel motherboards with FreeBSD? I'm looking into buying the bits to build a FreeBSD system and I was wondering whether the Intel M/Bs were worth looking at. As far as I'm aware, there's the plain Triton 430FX chipset M/B, the Endeavour with the on board sound chipset and the Atlantis with the sound and ATI graphics chipset. Would the on-board hardware be supported by FreeBSD and Xfree86 or would I need new drivers? I'd appreciate any suggestions at all on what to look for when buying motherboards since I'm not overly familiar with PC hardware. I have looked at the handbook and noticed the suggestions on ASUS motherboards, but I haven't seen anybody advertising them in the UK. TIA, Stephen. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- |Stephen Butler |stephen@dcs.rhbnc.ac.uk | |Computer Science Undergraduate. | | |Royal Holloway, University of London.| | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------
