Hey, After much struggle with the Asus P3V133 running an Intel processor with weird multiplier lock (mentioned on -hardware a few weeks back), I've fitted a second hand Abit BE6 I managed to pick up cheap... This thing has an ugly intel BX chipset which only recognizes half of my RAM (two 256MB modules read as 128MB each). This is a known issue with the BX. If I set MAXMEM in my kernel configuration to force FreeBSD to detect 512MB, would it work, despite the BX being crap?
