It's upgrade time, and a friend is donating me an Athlon64; all I need to do is choose a motherboard to put it on (and carry the rest of my existing hardware over).
My only requirement is that SATA works. My current setup (with an SI3112) encounters DMA timeouts regularly on the SATA disks leading to slowdowns, instability, and (in one case) a trashed partition. I don't care about RAID, I'm not going to be using GEOM or anything like that, I just want to plug my disks (Maxtor DiamondMax9s) into it and have it work. Can anyone recommend, preferably backed up by personal experience, a motherboard or chipset which reliably works with FreeBSD and SATA? :) Thanks, James
