Incidentally, the 430VX isn't "Triton-3". There is really no such thing as Triton-3. The VX came out about the same time as Triton-2, and is simply a lower-cost alternative. I don't know anyone running this chipset. So, I can't help you there. My only experience is with my two Asus motherboards: Asus P55TP4N (Triton-1) with a Pentium 120MHz - and - Asus P6NP5 (Natoma 440FX) with a Pentium Pro 200MHz Both run NetBSD and Windows NT beautifully. I would expect FreeBSD to run just as well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
