I don't wish to clutter the mailing list but can someone give me a
succinct description of what is supported under FreeBSD on a R3000Z?

My Dell I8000 is getting a bit long in the tooth but I'm loath to
give up full hardware support.  I really would like high end
graphics (at least resolution) with 64 bit support.

I'm specifically interested in 3D accel, suspend/resume, power
states (throttling), peripherals (built in, or external), wireless,
and battery life.

My hope is to find a laptop that is fully supported in i386 mode
that will also run in 64 bit mode reasonably and is actively
developed so that eventually it will be fully supported in that mode
as well.

Comments?  I appreciate whatever time anyone can spend on this.

Sean
