For anyone tuning in late, this is to get an NForce4 based
motherboard with a dual core AMD64 CPU to the amd64 portmaster
(fvdl), to fill a gap in his development kit and to make
it easier for him to track down an ACPI interrupt routing
issue on NForce4 boards.
I would like to thank again those who have contributed to
this, so far there has been almost 100 GBP in contributions,
and one person has offered to pay half of the remaining
cost (whatever it may be).
At this point I've just bought the following items which
will be delivered to the UK then shipped on.
- Athlon 64 (ADA3800BVBOX) X2 3800+ Socket 939 Dual Core 2.0ghz 512Kb

- Asus A8N-VM CSM Socket 939 NVC51PV M-ATX VGA Gbit Lan
http://beta.ebuyer.com/customer/products/?product_uid=98339
If this board does not exhibit the ACPI interrupt issues
I've agreed to find a different one that will.
- Kingston 512 DDR400 PC3200 Memory Module
http://beta.ebuyer.com/customer/products/?product_uid=045120
The total is likely to be around 320 GBP (with the re-shipping
cost).
This is not an 'official NetBSD' action, but if anyone else
would like to contribute, just drop me an email.
