I'm running two single core 252's on it, and I haven't run amd64 on it, but it should be fine. I've running 32bit kernels/world on it just great on the 105 (not E) bios. nfe0 and 1 work great, even the on-board raid works: ar0: 238475MB status: READY ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad6 at ata3-master ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad4 at ata2-master tracking 8-current on it presently. However, I don't use any video in it at all, only the serial console. So I can't attest to that. -- Mark Atkinson atkin901@yahoo.com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired);
