Yes, the Via's aren't the most performant, though. They would be
fine
for my purposes if they were slow but dual-core, unfortunately they
are just slow. I'm not looking for a game machine, though, I'm
There is a dual-core version as well. I already mentioned that,
AFAIR.

Would you happen to know of anyone shipping systems with these
boards?
I can build one but it would be nice to pay someone else to do it
instead :)
So I broke down and bought one of those boards. Does anyone on the
list own one? Were there any initial setup difficulties with it?
Does FreeBSD pick up the crypto hardware and second processor
without any trouble?
For the archives, the VIA EPIA VT-310DP (<http://www.via.com.tw/en/
products/mainboards/mini_itx/vt_310dp/>) works *great* with FreeBSD
6.1. It's a dual-1GHz Via motherboard. The second processor is picked
up without trouble, and its padlock cryptography acceleration works,
or at least /dev/crypto is created with "device crypto" and "device
cryptodev" in the kernel config.
I didn't have to do anything special to get these things detected
except for the kernel config. In fact, I pulled a hard drive out of
another system and put it in here and it booted right up.
My dmesg is below.
