Thanks again for your opinion : i've really understood what you think
of Gigabyte MB and i'm gonna ask my vendor if it possible to have
another brand ;-)
So, i repost my original question under another form (and with the same
bad english...) : i'm searching for experienced users of any
motherboard using the Apollo Pro chipset (VIA 694X) with FreeBSD... My
question is about UDMA support : do they fall back to 16 MB/sec or
not ?
As i suspect that's the case, and as i've noticed that near 90% of
recent MBs are using this chipset, is there a MB alternative (i815e
based MB like the ones that Dell provides ?) or is it possible to buy
another supported ATA controller (Promise, Highpoint) and plug it in
the MB in order to take advantage of UDMA with such MB ?
Thanks again,
