In short, it seems that it is not. My next question, then, is whether AMD's Dual Athlon MP & Tyan's Thunder K7 are generally available. And, if they are, if anyone has successfully used them with 4.3-RELEASE. I have read a positive review of this combination at: http://accelenation.com/?doc=2&page=1 They seem well-suited for a high-end workstation which promises not to beggar me ... well, not quite. :-) Any comments? Many regards, Richard Mahoney -- +----------------------- Richard Mahoney -----------------------+ | 78 Jeffreys Rd +64-3-351-5831 | | Christchurch New Zealand | +-------------- mailto:rbm49@it.canterbury.ac.nz ---------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
