The > card I'm having trouble with has a acer chipset. i also wanted to buy asus when i was going for a new box, but during the research i found out that people were having trouble getting X up with some of the asus boards. X was essential since i was upgrading my desktop, so i went with abit KR7A (the no-raid version, VIA KT266A chipset), and i'm really happy with it. btw, there was a Athlon XP mobo test in the august issue of the czech Chip magazine, and they got the best numbers from a DFI AD76 RAID mobo. VIA KT333 chipset, Promise 20276, onboard sound (Realtek RTL8100). if i was buying a new mobo i would go for this one. (i have no experience with DFI mobos. maybe someone could chime in?) -- begin 666 nonexistent.vbs FreeBSD 4.7-RC 10:26AM up 23 days, 17:41, 21 users, load averages: 0.25, 0.22, 0.16 end To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
