Under FreeBSD with this motherboard, which of the settings under
chipset config for the motherboard can one enable?

What is 'PCI posted write' and should I enable it?
Should I enable all the various PCI buffering?
I have read that ISA GAT should be turned off.

Don't you wish manufacturers would document this stuff a bit?

I'm running the latest version of the flash BIOS available, and
I do have the dirty-tag-sram-whatever-it-is-called installed on my
mboard.  I've read this is necessary to use the board in write-back
mode.. ?

Any recommend settings, tweaks for this board?  PCI latencies, etc?
I've got an AMD dx4-100 in it.

thanks,
Craig.
