I can't comment on the SD11 motherboard, but I can
tell you I've had trouble with the FIC PA-2013. It
generates hardware errors (10 and 11) when attempting
to make world while using default (or even conservative)
BIOS settings. The power supply was from PC Power &
Cooling, so no problem there. The only way I could get
through an entire buildworld was to turn off every
go-fast option I could in the BIOS, including the L2
cache. I was able to get away with turning back on the
RAM banking, but that was it. Feh. I won't be buying
any more FICs if I can help it.
On a second PA-2013 I bought, I can turn on a few more
go-fast options, but it's still mighty conservative.
