Hello FreeBSDers! I am about to build a new box to keep at home to do some digital photo editing, write some documents with LaTeX and listen to some music (MP3, Ogg Vorbis and Audio CDs). I selected this hardware and I was hoping to get some feedback from you on items that might have problems with FreeBSD 4.7 and the new 4.8. Anyway here it is: - ASUS A7S333 motherboard - AMD XP 2000+ - Titan D5TB-TC Socket A/FCPGA - 3 x DDR 512 MB PC333 - Western Digital 80GB 80/72/100 800JB 8MB Cache - CDRW LG 8481B 48x24x48x IDE - Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 NIC - Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop - 19" Sony CPD-E450 - XFX Riva TNT 32MB AGP - Sound Blaster Live 4.1 Creative OEM My doubts regarding this configuration are related to the Sound Blaster Live support. BTW, with 1.5 GB of RAM can I mount the /usr/src and /usr/obj in a MFS to speed up 'world' compilation? Please reply to me as I am not on the list due to incoming mailbox limits. Best regards, Miguel Goncalves
