Basically it is a Abit BP6 mainboard running two Celeron 266 MHz CPU's with 128 MB and a Matrox G200 videocard. It has about 8 GB of HD space. And it does it's job wonderful. Then again I use it for compilation work for CURRENT. But it does it great. You might want to ask on hardware@freebsd.org, or searc hthe archives for that list wrt supported/working hardware.
