(this bit is my personal opinion) my question is .. are their any others out thier, like amd or cyrix, that are pentium pro compatible enought to run freebsd and stay reliable for a long time. i am thinking of getting a cyrix 686 type .. any suggestions, do's, don't's, etc would be apreciated. all the numbers and names have confused me most thouroughly. regards and thanks in advance jonathan -- =============================================================================== Jonathan Michaels PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 Australia =========================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
