Can you please report back on how stable is FreeBSD on that hardware? I am thinking about moving 14.2-RELEASE to new hardware very soon with AMD Ryzen 9 9950X CPU (Zen5) and also some ASUS mobo (either X870E or X670E not sure yet). I plan to buy 6000MHz RAM in 64..96..128..192GB size for a ramdisk to speed up build times. This will be my development workstation and I also need good stable 3D with multimonitor+rotation setup for CAD and multimedia so scfb fallback is not an option because it does not support multimonitor+rotation without gpu drivers even with no 3d acceleration. I will definitely buy second hand NVIDIA GPU because I am sick tired of AMDGPU stability problems with my RX580 and I dont believe modern built-in GPU will even work. After move to 14.2 (and drm-61-kmod) it does not panic as on 14.0/5.15 but it gets hiccups that require reboot.. far from 13.3/5.10 stability.. so I am considering just replacing GPU and use nvidia drivers :-( --=20 CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
