I've been running it for over 10 yrs. and on some *really* obscure hardware. Some *very* old stuff also. I'm running 7 SMP motherboards now, and they run like a top on 5.4-STABLE. But really. I've used some *real* cheap stuff and never had any trouble. Though it *sure* doesn't hurt to check the hardware list. That is so kindly provided on the web page and with the installation CD. FreeBSD is great!
