A friend has the slightly older ASUS K7M board > and seems happy with it -- no problems reported. The system shipped (nonfunctional) with 512MB of ECC SDRAM. If you enable ECC in the BIOS and reboot, it locks up. I've also been thwarted long and hard by what's turned out to be an unrelated problem, but which I'd been unable to pin down more closely. With the suggestion that it's actually the bootsector virus detector, I'm going back to the K7V to give it another go. I'll lick this bastard yet! -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
