Chipset compatibility issues and FreeBSD

[Justin Finkelstein]

Hi there
 
I'm about to make a decision on which motherboard to buy to run FreeBSD
4.9 in a production environment, and I'm getting a little confused over
compatibility issues with the available chipsets and this version of
FreeBSD.
 
The chipsets in question are: Intel 865G, 865PG, 865PE.
 
I did some searching on the mailing lists earlier and found a couple of
posts detailing problems between the 865G chipset and FreeBSD 5.1.
 
I am working on the assumption that the motherboard manufacturer isn't
too important, but I am expecting to buy from Gigabyte as they've worked
fine in the past.
 
Can anyone shed any light on whether these chipsets will work with
FreeBSD 4.9?
 
Thanks,
 
Justin
