I used to run into hanges related to UDMA/66 before I upgraded the BIOS.
I think the "RU" bios is the latest one and my BP6 box has been up for
30 days now.

Okay, I'm going through the BP6 site, as there appears to be problems with
W2k itself ... I've just reinstalled the whole FreeBSD side of the system
to 4.2-RELEASE and will upgraded to -CURRENT later tonight and see if this
fixes my X problems ... its been awhile since I've done a fresh install on
her, maybe something got out of whack *shrug*

I've had one for nearly a year.  I used it for my contribution to the
SMPng project, and I've had no problems that I would ascribe to the
board.
