No, this is not true. FreeBSD will work on all Intel 386-compatible processors, which includes the Pentium 4. Additionally, it will work with most non-Intel 386-compatible processors. From the handbook: FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA, and PCI bus-based PCs with Intel, AMD, Cyrix, or NexGen ``x86'' processors, as well as a number of machines based on the Compaq Alpha processor. Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive configurations, various SCSI controllers, PCMCIA cards, USB devices, and network and serial cards is also provided. FreeBSD also supports IBM's microchannel (MCA) bus. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x2736.html Marco Radzinschi E-Mail: marco@radzinschi.com AOL IM: CrackedBoy Running FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE i386 8:28PM up 22 days, 4:57, 1 user, load averages: 1.00, 1.00, 0.93 On Mon, 3 Dec 2001 progress@eznet.net wrote: > > A local vendor has told me that FreeBSD will not work with > Intel P4.
