X-Mailer: VM 6.32 under Emacs 19.34.1 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am in the process of getting a new system, and this time and taking into account compatability with FreeBSD-3.0, so I was thinking of getting a Dual Ppro system with AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) (is would be the Tyan new Wildcat 2 system that is build for P2's, but have these handy adapter cards for using Ppro chips instead, so I could upgrade when the P2 prices dropped). Would the AGP board require anything special in terms of the kernel ? I dont really think so, but I also dont really know and just want to make sure. (The AGP is an extra memory bus that bypasses the PCI bus for video memory access). Jay -- Join the FreeBSD Revolution! mailto:nordwick@xcf.berkeley.edu http://xcf.berkeley.edu/~nordwick
