Depends on the filesystem you use, FAT16 has a 2GB limit, FAT32 (in theory) supports very large partitions but I think you could get in trouble at 127GB or 137GB with MS-Dos. Newer MS-Dos (or other doses) support FAT32. Old MS-Dos machines used FAT16, if the hardware is from that time period you also might run into the hardware limitation that BIOS can not adress more then a 32GB harddisk, most drives however have a capactiy limit jumper setting for this reason.

Yes, if you set it to 1 Mb you probably can not go above 640x480 24bit colour in X, I think 1024x768 max but only at 8 bit colour, so 8 Mb is better. As far as I know it's best to leave the VideoRam setting in xorg.conf commented out, In most cases the driver detects the memory X can use.

Everything works pretty well without APIC, I was just curious about getting it to work. I found this discussion: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-May/027316.html and I have also found numerous reports on nforce2+APIC lockup problem in Linux and some patches that were reported to help with it.

But I want to try to enable apic. :) oopsy I was talking about acpi, since that was also in the url you referred too (I should read better -smacks self). From what I've heard the apic doesn't work too well on nforce2 boards, appearantly there is an updated version of the bios that might fix this problem, I've read somewhere (little while ago) of a beta version of the new abit nf7 bios that fixes apic problems. You could check the abit site and update/flash the mainboard with the latest bios. but I'm not sure about the 'official' fixed status of the nf7 and nf7 V2.0. Btw when flashing the bios make sure you get the correct bios, you can check your board to see if you have a normal NF7 or NF7 v2.0. flashing it with the wrong bios means bye bye bios. -I suggest chipmakers make a new standard for something and call it 'apci', just to keep things clear...- -yuri ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Performance, especially with multiple things going on, is much better then on linux in my expereince. All 3 come with the X window system and a few GUIs like KDE and Gnome etc... Slackware and FreeBSD dont have them set up and configured by default, you have to do that yourself.
