It's an nForce4. I run FreeBSD 6-CURRENT on it as my normal desktop. The only thing that doesn't work is the ethernet port. The driver will pretend to attach and configure the device, but will panic on the first attempt to bring the PHY up. I somewhat understand the cause of this, but I haven't had time to dig into the miibus code and really figure it out. But otherwise, it works very well. It works less well in 5-STABLE due to infrastructure differences that are likely not to be merged back. Scott
