If so, what > motherboard are you using? We (FreeBSD Test Labs) have hands-on experience with the Intel AD450NX, Intel SC450NX and Acer Altos 11000 boards. All of these work very well, however you mentioned that you have a lot invested in SDRAM and all of these boards use EDO DIMMs. > Is anyone using any of the AMI (www.ami.com) Quad motherboards? You might want to talk to Kedar at ASA Computers (kedar@asacomputers.com) or Billy Bath at Telenet Systems (www.tesys.com), both of whom, I understand, have considerable experience with the AMI boards. See my other messages regarding sensible purchasing, however. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
