P35 in general has caused problems That board should work perfectly fine on FreeBSD 7-CURRENT (or 7-RELEASE when that becomes available), and for all intensive purposes should work with 6-RELEASE; you'll want to update to the latest version of 6 though because there were some driver releases that came out which allow you to use Marvell NICs (msk driver), for instance. I have a comparable board from ASUS (P5K-E) and it worked fine with 6.x (6.1-rc1, 6.2 latest), and works nicely with 7-CURRENT (sources sup'ed from Sept 27th). So unless Abit does something funky with the devices onboard, things should work perfectly fine (not sure about onboard graphics though since I have an nvidia card :)...).

Try getting on their web site and finding any support for anything more than a year old. I guess there's really no point, since their boards usually die within a couple years anyway. Just my own opinion, biased by my experience with ABIT, but -- hey, you asked ;) -rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
