We plan to buy a workstation based on a Intel P4, ASUS P4T with 1 GB RDRAM and a IBM ICL35-type harddisk (ATA100). I know that new hardware have problems with FreeBSD if the chipset is to new. Do the community have experiences with the new P4 chipsets? VIA now offers also a Inte P4 chipset for DDR-RAM (P4X... or similar). Is this chipset being supported by FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE or 4.4-STABLE? On the other hand, the alternative would be a AMD type machine with KT266A chipset from VIA. FreeBSD 4.3 had problems with the chipset (ASUS A7V266 motherboard and AMD TBird 1,4 GHz). Hope these problems has been wiped out ... -- MfG O.
