I'm building a new machine, keeping some of the old parts, and wondering whether there are any (more or less:) informed opinions out there re: whether my XFree86- 4/FreeBSD 4.2 (soon to be 4.3) based system will work with the new stuff. The new stuff is: 1) AMD 1.33Ghz Tbird (not expecting problems with this) 2) ASUS A7M266 mobo 3) Crucial PC2100 DDR SDRAM 4) Pioneer DR116 DVD/CD-ROM Also, next month when it becomes available, I plan to get a new video card, the Hercules 3D Prophet 4500, based on an unusual chipset, the Kyro II. However, even if this doesn't work with X/FreeBSD, I'll be able to keep my current card, so it won't be a critical problem. If anyone does foresee problems, and has solutions to suggest, I admit to being a relative newbie. Thus, I'd probably be doing my system and myself a favor by not attempting anything particularly complicated or hairy. TIA for any advice.
