I'm buying parts for a computer and want to make sure that the core

Me2 (unless I wait for a newer generation of CPUs).
However it seems many of the popular motherboards have Realtek ALC888
as built-in audio and Realtek 8111B as built-in LAN.
I read at:
That audio didn't work with 6.2 Release and that LAN controller is very
problematic. You are better of getting
PCI/LAN on the garage sale. I like DLink and they go for $1 in U. S. and
will solve your second problem as well.

that the sound should work but I couldn't find any info on the LAN.
Does anyone on the list have any experience with it?
By the way, I'm going to run FreeBSD 7.
I also want a cheap PCI/e NIC that works well with drivers back to
FreeBSD-4 like my plain PCI bge and em NICs do. I doubt that any
popular motherboard will have anything better than a cheap PCI/e NIC.
