I like the Abit KT7A. It works well...and the chip on the board that normally just has a heat sink has a fan as well. There are 4 3pin fan headers in various places around the board. All configuration is via bios soft menu rather than jumpers (this can be good or bad, depending on your outlook and if the board autodetects your chip correctly). There are two USB ports in the normal ATX place as well as a header and internal cable for two more, if you like that sort of thing. This brings up a somewhat unrealated point. In the manual it says: "Hardware monitoring features for temperatures, fans and voltages will occupy I/O address from 294H to 297H." Can I access that memory block by reading from a byte offset in /dev/mem? If so, what offset? Can someone explain the XXXH notation in terms of actual memory or point me somewhere that does? I am intersted in writing a little peice of software that will query these values. If I can read the appropriate chunk, I'm sure I can figure out exactly what byte is what by seeing what values change when I do diffrent things. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul" <tribble@tribble.net> To: <freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 13:37 Subject: AMD MB > Looking for suggestions on a good motherboard that supports AMD > Thunderbird well under FreeBSD.
