I've had excellent results with the ECS K7S5A running both with SDR and DDR on older Athlons and the newer AthlonXPs. Aside from what you mentioned earlier about sound and the onboard NIC/AUDIO. I've had ZERO problems in ***BSD. Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: bow [mailto:bow@bow.net] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 6:56 PM To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: ECS K7S5A? Hello, I am looking at upgrading a few systems to AMD 1600, 1800, or 1900+. I am trying to find the best system configuration on FreeBSD for not too pricey but doesn't have to be dirt cheap. Basically a solid good server. So far I've heard great stuff about the ECS K7S5A motherboard, but most of of the reviews I've seen is using Windows or Linux. Does anyone know how this board/SiS735 chipset performs on FreeBSD? I don't care for the onboard stuff, like sound and the network card. It's going to be a server, so I don't need sound. And I use Intel Pro 100BaseT network cards, so I don't the onboard=20 network functions. How does the KT266 chipset handle? Any advice or help in getting a solid motherboard is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
