Folks i'm > still waiting for YOU to speak out OK, I'll speak out. Today, the list is useless. When freebsd-amd64 was introduced years ago, it was a good idea to have a list of supported motherboards because well freebsd-amd64 was new. Today, there are simply too many motherboards to keep an accurate list. Not to mention that manufacturers are constantly dropping older model motherboards for the next latest and greatest design. MSI lists 20 different boards for AMD processors alone. Three of those boards have flashing "new" icons next to the model numbers. -- Steve
