If you go with an ASUS motherboard and a fx or vx model you should be all set. If you can load up windows 95 and check out the system. One thing that you can do is peruse the various mailing list for STB and see if there are any complains about the SiS chipset . I caught one such complain in the Intel Video Capture newsgroup and no one really knew what the problem was. Can you enter you configuration into the bt848 configuration web page and comment on your experience? http://www.freebsd.org/~jmg/cgi-bin/bt848.cgi Regards, Amancio >From The Desk Of Bernie Doehner : > > I suspect that your problem is the chip0 <SiS 85c496> rev 49 on pci0:5 > > > > Most likely that PCI chipset is not PCI 2.1 compliant. > > > > Amancio > > Oh no!
