Greetings! I've been on the hunt for the perfect motherboard to replace my old P133 FreeBSD machine which is pretty much on it's last leg. I've been using an Asus P5A for my girlfriend's Photoshop/HTML machine which uses an ALi Alladin V chipset. The Asus P5A is a great board with alot of nice features and utilizes the low cost AMD K6-2 chip, but I heard that the ALi chipset isn't supported by FreeBSD as far as Ultra DMA/33 is concerned. I have heard that the VIA chipsets are supported in respect to Ultra DMA/33. First of all, I'd like to know if all the above is correct (that which concerns FreeBSD and the mentioned chipsets). Also, I'd like to know if the SiS chipsets are supported by FreeBSD in respect to Ultra DMA/33. Which motherboards would you recommend based on chipset? I'd like to get the best performance out of my DMA/33 hardrives. I know SCSI would be a better way to go, but I can't really afford a complete SCSI subsystem. :( Thanks for you help!
