It happened with TWO Supermicro motherboards, one a P6SBU the other a P6DBU (one dual, one single). Both of these boards had four sticks of RAM in them before, but just 128's. Could be the electrical issue with more chips on the 256's. So, the consensus is that no adjustments are necessary for FreeBSD to support 1GB or greater? -Troy Cobb Circle Net, Inc. http://www.circle.net > I'm virtually certain thta this is a bogus motherboard.
