In case if anyone want to know what I have ordered the hardwares yesterday. - AthlonXP Barton +3200/400 - K7N2 Delta2 Platinum (MS-6570E-010) - 2x256mb (512mb total) DDR400 PC3200 RAM - Seagate 120gb 7200rpm (8mb cache) ATA - Lite-On 52x32x52x16 Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM - Adaptec 39160 PCI SCSI Controller Card* I hope, FreeBSD will working on this hardwares very well. * It's more like I only will use it once to transfer my old SCSI HD to new ATA HD.
