nVidia chipsets?
Do recent socket AM2 nVidia based chipsets work ok with FreeBSD 6.x? Specifically: MBO DFI, s. AM2, Infinity nF-M2I, nFORCE 4, BUS 2000 MHz, serial ATA, RAID, 5.1 sound, DDR 2, 1Gbps, FireWire, ATX 2 Do ATA SATA ports, ethernet and sound work? What about an ATI graphics card? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: nVidia chipsets?
MBO DFI, s. AM2, Infinity nF-M2I, nFORCE 4, Is this the same nFORCE 4 used on the socket 939 boards? I have a 939 with nforce 4 ultra. (ultra means it supports SATA's NCQ queueing) I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 on it. Do ATA SATA ports, ethernet and sound work? The nforce Ethernet works, but I've only used it for a few minutes, and didn't stress it at all. I haven't tried sound with FreeBSD. PATA and SATA work. It can read from 4 SATA disks at once as fast as the data comes off the platters (65-70MB/s at the fast end of the platters). I'm running soft updates and have the disks' write cache in write-through mode to avoid scrambled filesystems. In write-through mode I get about 6-7 MB/s. If anyone knows how to turn on SATA NCQ, please let me know. But there is a problem. Writing to one drive slows down writes to an unrelated drive. (I'm not using any form of RAID.) See the processes not getting fair share of available disk I/O thread in -questions for more info on this problem. At this point I don't know if this problem has anything to do with the nforce chip or not. What about an ATI graphics card? My board has an onboard ATI chip. Xorg seems happy with it, but ATI doesn't support sync-on-green, so it is useless with my monitor. The nforce USB works, although I haven't stressed it. ___ freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The only problem I ever ran into was with was the ethernet chipset. It was originally a bit funky in regards to deciding to go unresonsive for awhile. Not had any problems in the Do ATA SATA ports, ethernet and sound work? What about an ATI graphics card? The SATA and ATA work nicely on them. Same for the sound and ethernet. If you want good graphics performance you will want to go with a nVidia card. I have been really pleased with the nVidia chipsets under FreeBSD. ___ freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
