If you know the make and model of the mainboard you could see if the specifications are online. Try the manufacturer's web site, or ask yahoo/google/... If the card you select isn't universal Voltage, you'll need to know if the slot is 5 Volt or 3.3 Volt. The keying is supposed to tell you, but some mainboards have a jumper to select the PCI Voltage, and I don't think moving the jumper changes the keying. :-) _______________________________________________ freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hardware-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
