I had problems with the ASUS A7N266-E w/ AMD XP 1800. The on-board vga is not supported in FreeBSD and causes a system freeze. ASUS will NOT provide doc for the chipset, the nVidia nForce 420D. nVidia will NOT provide doc for ANY chipset. AMD provides doc for their 760 series chipset. I do not know if it supports ECC, but, if it does, I recommend you find a MB that has that chipset. I would avoid nVidia chipsets and ASUS motherboards because of their refusal to provide FreeBSD developers with docs for the chipset so drivers can be developed. tomdean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
