ASRock AOD790GX. I am running FreeBSD 8.0 RC1 amd64 and everything is working fine here. I use it as my desktop. I've got it dual booting with XP because I need it for my Audio projects. I have an extra PCI sound card on it because of its MIDI port. In fact I use it as my main sound output on FreeBSD. I also have another sound card but FreeBSD doesnt have drivers for It but I only use it in XP anyway. -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since version 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio.... YET!!] (99,7% winedows FREE)
