[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello All, My name is Dave Lindberg and I just bought a new AMD Anthlon machine... Compaq 7AP140. Configured as: 800 Mhz AMD Anthlon, 128 MG, Mediamatic DVD drive, CDRW drive ?, 16 Mg nVidia TNT2 graphics card, 128 bit Sound Blaster audio card, Micromodem 56K modem, NIC card ?.... Do you know if I can run FreeBSD on my system? I really don't know if I can run it on an AMD processor, people tell me I can only use an Intel chipset? Is there any truth to this? I've been out of the X window scene for a while and would like to jump back in. I'm trying to make a dual boot system and was wondering... can I do this with Win 98 and FreeBSD. Could I load FreeBSD into a partition on my Win 98 hard drive or would I need a new HD to load the system? Is there a way to open a window in FreeBSD and to run a Win 98 application witin it? If I'm asking too many questions.... please direct me to the appropriate web pages. Thank you for your time! FreeBSD friend, Dave Lindberg :-) [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello All,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My name is Dave Lindberg and I just bought a new AMD Anthlon machine...
