MSI K8T Master2-FAR

VIA® K8T800 / VIA® VT8237 Dual Socket940

Functional.

It *really* does not play well with RAM: I've gone through a few OCZ kits
trying to find one that works, and I still can't enable ECC (FreeBSD freezes
during boot).  The board booted fine with 1.5GB installed, but then up and
decided to cause memory corruption in the 2x256MB sticks.  Note that these
sticks successfully completed five memtest runs in another machine.

Currently only using one CPU, but comments from the mailing list indicate that dual CPU installations don't break anything else.

Have yet tried enabling SMBus support, but I don't imagine it will be an issue, as the board is VIA-based.
