Supported Chipsets

[Sunsyril]

Hello,

I like to upgrade my hardware to a more recent one

But I can't find a list with the latest supported chipsets.

So my question:
Are the latest chipsets (eg. P55, X58, ) of Intel supported?

Or even better:
What do you think about this choice:
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3 or ASUS P7P55D with i5-750

thanks in advace.

Please view this page:

However I think, also check forums for user experiences.

I am currently using the Asus P6T6 WS Rev. (Intel X58 chipset) since FreeBSD 7.2 . No issues, although some components on the motherboard (mainly the Marvell SAS controller) do not have drivers for them at this time. Otherwise, its working without problems.

Usually they should be working. But you can run into trouble, because some parts of the chipsets will not work yet. You maybe need to disable functions in the BIOS to get FreeBSD working.
