I just got an ASUS A7V266-E. I think it is preferable to the above except it is confused about irq0: atapci0: port 0xd000-0xd00f irq 0 at device 17.1 on pci0 The A7V266-E has a KT266A chipset which is claimed to have significantly better memory controller than the ALI chipset in the A7A266. My bcopy and bzero benchmarks run at a maximum of 533e6 bytes/sec and 811e6 b/s respectively (with an Athlon1400XP overclocked to 10.5*146). My version of makeworld takes 1418.81 seconds (with one DTLA 30MB disk). Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
