Hi I saw discussed on this (?) list a few days ago a Giga-Byte motherboard called a GA586DX, so I investigated further. I have some questions, please :-) : 1) The board has sockets for two Pentium processors. Do the SMP crowd support this board? (It uses a 82430HX - is that Triton-II?) 2) The ram supported is "Fast Page Mode" or "EDO". What does this mean, and if it is a choice, which is more appropriate to FreeBSD? 3) It has on-board an Adaptec 7880 chip. Will the be recognised by FreeBSD, and if so, as what? (AHC<something>?) 4) What does a UMC8669/SMC669 I/O chip do? Serial/Parallel I/O? Thanks!
