Then I strongly doubt it's what killed your CPUs, and I can understand that your dealer doesn't want to replace it. I have never heard of any case of FreeBSD causing hardware damage before. I don't see anything in your reports so far that suggests that this is the case here. > If this is the case, then what motherboard do you recommend me to > buy ? I'm going to use FreeBSD and Win on the same machine. There shouldn't be any particular restriction. I'd suggest you look at what's available, make a short list, and ask what people think of each specific motherboard. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
