Motherboards with chipsets supporting this configuration are only about 2 years old. I need to provide support for FreeBSD-3.x (with x currently not known). I wonder if there are any known problems running ancient software on those new motherboards. Your stories, opinions, experience much appreciated. Thanks. Joerg -- Joerg B.
