i've look through the changes and am not clear on how the sb700 will be handled. it sounded like you were saying all the sb[67]xx chips are handled the same, but the did is different (439D). it it just a matter of adding it to the big switch(p->vid) statement?

K9AGM4-L. But it has only 100Mbit ethernet onboard. -- cinap --- Begin Message --- The motherboard in my main server went belly-up yesterday. No POST, no nothing. Well, the fans spin. Joy. That particular motherboard isn't carried anywhere any more, despite being a whopping one year old. I'm looking for a replacement, but having a hard time finding one with both a supported SATA controller and supported gigabit ethernet with an AMD CPU and DDR2 RAM (so I don't have to replace that, too). Anyone have any recommendations? Bonus points for one that I can get shipped overnight.--- End Message ---

Re: [9fans] Motherboard recommendations?
does "sb600 or greater" really mean just by number? sb700 and sb750 seem common, but i'd assumed (probably foolishly) that 6xx was different (enough) from 7xx.

Re: [9fans] Motherboard recommendations?
perhaps more particularly, anyone know of or working on support for the RealTek RTL8111/8168B ethernet controller? I've found two boards with match except for having an 8111 controller, which we don't list as supported. i have no idea how close realtek's parts are to each other.
