The chipsets in question are: Intel 865G, 865PG, 865PE. I did some searching on the mailing lists earlier and found a couple of posts detailing problems between the 865G chipset and FreeBSD 5.1. I am working on the assumption that the motherboard manufacturer isn't too important, but I am expecting to buy from Gigabyte as they've worked fine in the past. Can anyone shed any light on whether these chipsets will work with FreeBSD 4.9?
