I took the plunge (with the help of my company) and picked up a Dual PPro motherboard with a single CPU. It's a OEM'd Microstar 6103 with the 440FX chipset. It has worked flawlessly with FreeBSD (work/pleasure), NT (work), W95/DOS (games). -Rob On Tue, 24 Sep 1996 griepent@wias-berlin.de wrote: > Hello, question@FreeBSD.org ! > > I am going to use numerical applications on a X11 Window desktop and > I do not want to miss "our" nice and stable FreeBSD system.
