Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing a new amd64 system. I have used freeBSD on an amd64 for about 4-5 months now, so I am somewhat familiar with it, but I only know a bit. I am going to put freeBSD5.2.1 on the new system and I have a few concerns about some of the hardware on this new system: 1) This system comes with a DVDRW drive, I assume that burning DVD's is well defined (possible) by now is it? 2) I'm getting an Asus Radeon 9600XT 128MB AGP w/DVI for my video card. Is this supported, or is this a big mistake? If so, is there a comparable video card that is supported? 3) I am connecting to a wireless network. Is WiFi supported in 5.2.1? for any of the cards out there? If not, is WiFi supported in FreeBSD, period (ie: for any systems, including an i386, etc?) thanks very much, Murray
