--=======AVGMAIL-437AA3552700======= Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sam: Great question! When you say embedded I think of industrial controls, instrumentation or robotics - is that what you want? or a single board desktop or server? I recently purchased an Asus K8V MX - an AMD based matx. Unfortunately I cannot yet tell you how the install went because it got stalled by other autumn household chores - soon...! From my homework it looks as though both the video and SATA are supported. I am not sure about the NIC. It has a few nice features (particularily for a low throughput home server) - if you use a Sempron 3000 or up then you can utilize the "Cool 'n Quiet" feature which will dial back your CPU to less than 1/2 power. It also has automatic fan speed control for CPU and chassis fans. Caveat emptor. Take a look at the specs yourself to verify your comfort zone from X.org etc. Cheers, Graham/ Vancouver, Canada. samwun@telpacific.com.au wrote: >Hi, > >Does any one know any low-cost SBC for FreeBSD?
