I'm looking for ideas on how to "best" configure this MB with all it's PATA and SATA option for use with FreeBSD -CURRENT. I've been following the -questions and -current mailing lists and have seen several people that appear to be running this board. Also I've seen, what appear to be, many issues with the Intel ICH5(R) controller. Ultimately I need a dual-boot FreeBSD, WinXP machine. I'd like to take advantage of the RAID capabilities in, ideally, both operating systems. -- Regards, Doug
