But I do! :) I see your point, and I knew beforehand that buying into nvidia stuff wasn't a smart thing to do when you want to run FreeBSD. So I wouldn't even have bought an nForce mainboard in the first place, if it weren't for = my friend offering me this (used for 4 months) mainboard for 55 EUR, which is about half the new price and still lots cheaper than a new non-nForce one... --Stijn --=20 "What if everything you see is more than what you see -- the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to anoth= er world?
