I actually forgot to say, that I am thinking about Pentium Pro,
Can you advise anything on ASUS ?
In particular, what is there difference between
 P/I-P6NP5 (Intel 440FX) and P/I-XP6NP5 (Intel 440FX)

You mentioned:
: Buslogic BT-958 

Is it really supported by FreeBSD ?


FAQ says just 956 series. (is 958 included in it ?)
