Anybody tried the new BX-based boards? I see both Intel and Supermicro boards being offered for sale, although I don't know how long you would have to wait in line to actually take delivery. I'm curious because I have an application which appreciates higher memory bandwidth, and the BX boards may (or may not - I haven't seen any test results) have greater bandwidth, especially if you run the memory bus at 100 MHz. [8ns "PC100" SDRAM required for this]. Anybody running FreeBSD on such a board yet? Any gotchas? -- Hugh LaMaster, M/S 233-21, ASCII Email: hlamaster@mail.arc.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center Or: lamaster@george.arc.nasa.gov Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 No Junkmail: USC 18 section 2701 Phone: 650/604-1056 Disclaimer: Unofficial, personal *opinion*.
