PCIe anyone?

[Oliver Lehmann]

Hi,

does someone own a PCIe board which works "well" with a fanless cooled
northbridge?


VIA 939:

Soltek SL-K890Pro-939
http://www.soltek.com.tw/soltek/product/products_all.php?isbn_st=SL-K890Pro-939
RTL8110SB Gigabit Ethernet Controller + Realtek AC650 Sound

ABIT AX8
http://www2.abit.com.tw/page/de/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAME=AX8&fMTYPE=Socket+939&DEFTITLE=Y
IC Plus IP1000 Family Gigabit Ethernet Adapter + Realtek AC560 Sound

GigaByte GA-K8VT890-9
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Motherboard/Products/Products_Spec_GA-K8VT890-9.htm
Marvell 8053 LAN chip + Realtek ALC850 Sound

Albatron K8X890 ProII
http://www.albatron.com.tw/english/it/mb/specification.asp?pro_id=186
Marvell MV8001 + VIA VT1720 Evny 24PT



NVidia NForce 4:

GigaByte GA-K8NF-9
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/MotherBoard/Products/Products_GA-K8NF-9.htm
CICADA8201 Gigabit LAN PHY chip+Realtek ALC850 Audio AC'97 Codec



VIA:
- Soltek looks nice for me, but I can't find a seller in .de for it
- ABIT probably the LAN is not supported on FreeBSD
- GigaByte I've heard that Marvell is somewhat "flickering" and, no
  seller in .de
- Albatron bad Marvel and unsupported sound but nice PCI/PCIe slots -
  maybe I can buy that with a small soundcard - but what is about network?

NVidia NForce 4:
- supported LAN + Sound but probably broken ACPI because of nforce 4?

I would now go for soltek if I could find a seller. Otherwise I would go
for the nforce4 board, but I read many many "no no's" so... next choice
would be Albatron+PCIe1 Sound Card for me then.

a) Did I missed a board?
b) What would you suggest to buy?
