While not on your list, I bought an ASUS A7M266 mid-summer and haven't had any trouble. I'm not sure about the differences between the ATA266 which is on your list - but hey, it's only off by one letter :). The only thing I wish I could change would be to increase the number of DIMM sockets. It only has two, so to go higher than 512M, you need to use the more expensive 512M or 1G memory modules. I've currently got 512 Meg in it, but this is too constraining for some of the things I am doing and I end up swapping a lot. I'm using a 1.33 GHz Athlon + SCSI with it and am very happy with performance. My typical buildworld + buildkernel is about 35 minutes. -Brian -- Brian Dean bsd@FreeBSD.org bsd@bsdhome.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
