Probably but i am not sure. Anything stronger will for sure. Thanks for your post, but I am not sure what you are trying to tell me. I wrote down the (more or less) complete configuration to give people a chance to comment on it - should they see a need. The main question was about the graphics part. If you do not use or require high performance 3D, that is fine. I intend to use it - mainly for gaming unter Windows. And if I have an expensive graphics board in my computer I want it to be at least of some use and fun under FreeBSD. Regards, Chris
