I've been looking at: Abit AV8 Asus A8V Deluxe both are VIA chipsets, are these motherboards fully compaitible with FreeBSD? Which is the best chipset to go with nForce, VIA, SiS or something else? Which is the best motherboard for this processor and freeBSD around? Any suggestions would be welcomed. from Michael --------------030800030506050505050800--
