I just build a very powerful machine with not the newest of components.
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.

HTH,
