Correct. > Maybe David knows of a BIOS upgrade that would help your motherboards. I've never been able to get a sufficiently accurate detailed explanation of the problem FreeBSD has on this mobo that I could get the BIOS vendor to fix it; (read, there isn't a fix I know of; but you should be using the latest '1007' for other reasons). I've avoided nForce3-150 mobos like the plague and don't have one for looking into this. If anyone can dive deeper into this issue, I'd appreciate it and will work to have the vendor fix it. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
