Hello, 

normaly I dont write success reports :-) But I wish to say big "Thank
You" to all FreeBSD developers, and to developers o AMD64 port, because
this was my first installation of FreeBSD to AMD64 (even more, this is
my first AMD64 based PC).

All devices of Tyan S2865 was recognized by installer, NVidia RAID
"just works", nve network card "just works", and even PCI-E ATI X1300
works with "vesa" driver, without 3D :-) but I dont generaly need it.
Ports builds are much faster than on P-IV 2.8GHz, some sites, on which
firefox 1.5.3 was crashing on i386 now "just work". Firewire and USB are
recognized, I have not used them still, sound recognized (but I dont use
it at work :-) )

Of course, I have done some research while selecting motherboard, and
because it was not for home PC, I was not too limited in cash :-)

And now question, can I expect same results on much cheaper motherboard
from ASUS?
