I am looking to buy an nforce2 based board. I am aware that some things may not work, such as the built-in Ethernet, but I have a 3Com card I can use. With regard to running FreeBSD (5-current) are there any reasons why I should not get an nforce2 based board? Are the KT400 based boards better "supported" in FreeBSD? Thanks for any input. -- Glenn Johnson USDA, ARS, SRRC Phone: (504) 286-4252 New Orleans, LA 70124 e-mail: gjohnson@srrc.ars.usda.gov
