Can you help me? I want to buy this laptop, or something like that. Can you tell me what is compatible and what not with this laptop? This is the list of the laptop components: Processor: AMD Turion=99 64 X2 Mobile Processor TL-60 (2.0GHz) Memory: SDRAM DDR2 1,0GB 667MHz (2 x 512 MB) Chipset: Radeon Xpress 1270 HDD: 120GB 7,200rpm SATA Hard Drive Modem Irish/Spanish - 56.6k V.92 Capable Internal Modem & Adapte= r Optical device: 8x DVD+/- RW Wireless Dell=99 Wireless 1390 802.11g Mini-Card Bluetooth Internal Dell 360 Bluetooth=99 Card Main battery; 9 Cell 85WHr Primary Battery Screen: 15.4" WXGA+ True Life (1440 x 900 resolution) Dell Wireless 1390 device is from Broadcom, then, i think that it can't work with FreeBSD beacause there are not native drivers, but if i change the mini-pci wireless card i think that it will work. I will buy a wireless mini-pci card with Atheros chipset. ACPI is what i'm worry about, can somebody tell me if it will work right? It's beacause the configuration and type of the BIOS, isn't it? Lot of thanks. --=20 Egonezintasuna, jakinmina eta ikasteko gogoa da zuongandik bereizten gaituena, delinkuente deitzen gaituzue, baia justizian sinisten dugu, ez ordea okerki eta modu berdinean izendatzen duzuen zuen legegintza sistema ustel horretan.
