(You can update the BIOS, but you can't do anything about the hardware revision #) Given the pricing of AMD to Intel right now I would be leary of buying a P3, especially a slot 1....looks like the p3-800 100mghz is running about $190. The Duron 800 is about $90 right now, and the Athlon 900 is about $190....of course you probably already have a P3 motherboard. To answer yuor question specifically, I have never owned the P3B-F, but I have had quite a few other ASUS motherboards, P2B and CUBX and so forth....they have always supported exactly what ASUS claimed they would. I wouldn't think there would be any reason to doubt their website about yours.. Josh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
