Re: Athlon64 SMP motherboards?

Hi,

What are the shortcomings of the K8SPro board? I have one, with a pair 
of Opterons, and it seems to be working fine .. The Adaptec ZCR card 
isn't working because the freebsd driver for it isn't 64bit-ready 
(yet..), and the onboard SATA (SiI) isn't supported in RAID mode by the 
ata driver - but otherwise it seems to work nicely.
