To follow up on a previous thread regarding ICH8 support, what parts of a P965 chipset based motherboard will work with existing 6-STABLE? I'm close to buying a Conroe-ready motherboard, but I'd rather spend $150 on a P965 board with DDR2-800 support than a more expensive 975-based board. I'm willing to wait for auxiliary support for things like hardware monitors, etc. As long as FreeBSD will boot from the SATA controller and the on-board GigE Intel NIC will work (I believe it will, looking at the if_em cvs logs), then I'll likely go theP965 route. How about USB? Are there any developers working on ICH8 at this time? If so, I would be willing to contribue testing at the very least. Just curious what kind of time frame we can expect the P965-based motherboards to be at least minimally supported. Thanks! Josh
