And I installed it. And it was Good. I got the Asus P5A, a 128MB 8-ns PC100 compliant DIMM (made by either TI or Micronics), Matrox G200 8MB AGP, Intel 10/100B, WD 8.4GB IDE, and a Teac 32X IDE CDROM. I took the K6-200 from my old system (now running at 100MHz bus X 2 multiplier) as well as the Adaptec 2940UW, the SB AWE64 Value PnP, the IDE ZIP drive, the Fujitsu 640MB MO drive (although I never tried using it in FreeBSD), and the Voodoo2 12MB. It's all working like a charm. I installed 2.2.7-R over ethernet from my internet gateway machine (I had already downloaded 2.2.7-R to it earlier). Everything installed without a hitch. The apm sleep command (zzz) works great (i used it to let the KDE port compile overnight) and my system actually wakes up properly (can't say the same for Win95). My only problem is that my G200 isn't supported yet, so I'm running XFree86 with KDE in 16 colors...
