Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm contemplating the purchase of an Nx586 PCI motherboard. Has anyone tried such an animal under FreeBSD? (surely somebody has). Any problems? Did it live up to expectations? Are the claims to be of Pentium speed, or a bit more, rational? I realize the Nx586 lacks FPU and NexGen does not claim to be comparable doing floating point. -- David Kelly N4HHE, n4hhe@amsat.org, dkelly@iquest.com ============================================================= The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
