By the way the 9800s(IIRC) and newer show as 2 devices on one card. Its sad, but no one no one reads warnings about video drivers on the front page of the release notes. It could be more in depth, but if you do a little research and you will find nvidia is really the only brand you want to use for 3d on FreeBSD. Last time I check the nforce agp controllers were not properly initilized, so they don't work. I would like to know if nforce chipsets do 3d with the nvidia video drivers from the port if any one is listening. This said the 6600 GT, which can be found for around the price of the x700 pro, will wipe the floor with the x700 pro. The nic should work with the net/nvnet port. If you run current the driver is now in the base system.
