It's likely that the integrated LAN chip (Intel 82562EZ) will work with 
FreeBSD, yes; you may have problems with using SATA RAID or using USB v2, 
although USB v1.1 speeds should be OK.

2005-01-07 Thread Bens
Good day to you all,
Im looking for a motherboard that will serve as
our FreeBSD server, I have some difficulty finding the
right review for MSI 865PE Neo2 platinum edition
motherboard.  Is this motherboard and its integrated
components compatible with FreeBSD release 5.3? 
Kindly please help me with this.  
Hoping for your reply, thanks and more power to
all.

hardware compatiblity list and upgrading

2003-03-12 Thread Bsd Neophyte
alright my bookpc that has served me nicely for over a year now has gone
to hell.

i've had a Dual P3-700e on an Asus P2B-LS.  unfortunately, this MB doesn't
have anything beyond an ata33.  the drive I have is an ata100 drive.  i'm
sure as a PDC/NTP/DNS server, this is more than aqequate, but i'm also
looking to make this unit a proxy server.  therefore i'm looking to get a
Maxtor (Promise) ATA Ultra 100 PCI card.

i need two things.

1. to find if this stuff will all work with FreeBSD 4.7 or 5.0
2. if i can simply take the HD out of the older machine and slap it into
the new machine

look at the hardware links right on www.freebsd.org

 2. if i can simply take the HD out of the older machine and slap it into
 the new machine

most likely, if it has a proper MBR/boot loader and the new hardware can work 
with the old drive.  Make sure to have proper cables.
