Have you guys compared BIOSes? My last 2 dual Tyan MBs (not the S1836DLUAN), Tyan installed either Award or (I think) Phoenix BIOSes. You didn't get a choice in advance, but you could (very cheaply) get the one you didn't get from Tyan, by checking ads in Computer Shopper. Very cheaply== ~ 15 bucks. They were quite different in features, so for the price it was well worth it. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
