Been that route, did some of them. Infact let me see.. yep.. we are factory direct with them as well. Seems that they did some not so cool things in the past, lets see, 6 SIMM Triton chipset with screwy allowed combinations of single and double sided modules, caused us end user problems to no end (pun intended :-). Overall they make a good product, they pull stupid stunts like the above mentioned 6 SIMM thing to make it seem thier product is more expandable than others. > > We have been using Gigabyte for years and have had > great success with them. > > We ran into one BIOS problem that they fixed a couple > of years ago, but the quality and compatibility have > been great. Seems like I also had a major go around with them and Buslogic. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
