Hi, I was just joking however I got to admit that I haven't tought about the 386 platforms in a couple of years --- currently eye balling the next generation of CPUs with 64bit PCI running at 66Mhz and of course the AGP port - the CPU will be running at 400Mhz. Just looking forward to cool 3d and to setup cool video sub-systems --- my last contract involved 2 video capture boards and for the next rev level of the system it calls for audio / video conferencing -- forgot to mention : the project was for a HMD/audio system for surgeons to use and talk to other surgeons while they watch the surgeon operate. We must certainly can build a two video capture solution with no sweat for FreeBSD. So we have two extremes and is not very clear to me which one can bring in more benefit to FreeBSD. At any rate, both paradigm can peacefully co-exist: curses based applications and X based applications the two need not be mutually exclusive.
