I guess it is worth asking if the POWER3 CPU is supported by either the powerpc or the powerpc64 version of FreeBSD? I looked under Debian and they had support for POWER3 and the pSeries 610 (7025-6E1) under the powerpc kernel. I am wondering if the POWER3 CPU is supported in FreeBSD and which version should I try (powerpc or powerpc64)? Here are my system details: - 333 MHz POWER3-II 64-bit processor, 4 MB of L2 cache (I have yet to figure out if it's 1 or 2 way SMP, most likely 1 way) - 512 MB of ECC SDRAM - 18 GB Ultra3 SCSI HDD - Two 10/100 Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 compliant) - CD-ROM - Floppy - Tape Drive (I disconnected it, don't need it) Cheers. -- Lyubomir Grigorov (bgalakazam)
