I've had FreeBSD run for *hours* on flaky hardware, on which Windows wouldn't make, like, ten minutes. In the end, faulty hardware beats Operating System, but I've had several experiences, where I did not know just how faulty a piece of hardware was, until I tried to run Windows on it... =) So in my experience, if FreeBSD is unstable on that hardware, you can regard yourself lucky if you even get Windows installed without crashing all over the place. =) Kind regards, Benjamin
