Hi, What are the shortcomings of the K8SPro board? I have one, with a pair of Opterons, and it seems to be working fine .. The Adaptec ZCR card isn't working because the freebsd driver for it isn't 64bit-ready (yet..), and the onboard SATA (SiI) isn't supported in RAID mode by the ata driver - but otherwise it seems to work nicely. /Eirik Ketrien I.
