FreeBSD installing on PC w/ Intel 64bit CPU
Dear Support, Nice to meet you all first. I have a question on Hardware compatability while installing FreeBSD 4.8 on some newly built PCs. May I know is FreeBSD version 4.8 support Intel 64bit CPU w/ 915GV chipset Motherboard ? As I am gonna run some programs that can only be installed on version 4.8. And i am worrying the OS version do not work on this configuration. Thankyou alot for your help first. -- Have a nice day From Albert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think the answer is no, I believe 64-bit support was added around 5.2.1: http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html As I am gonna run some programs that can only be installed on version 4.8. And i am worrying the OS version do not work on this configuration. You should try to obtain newer programs. 4.8 isn't supported. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

opus, Thankyou alot for your help first. Finally i am seeking help from Google to find a PC that is not using 64bit CPU. Seems Dell Dimension 1100 suit my needs. My another concern is do the Intel 865 Chipset have VGA compatiable problem happen on FreeBSD 4.8. Some forum do say so, May I know do another tried to install FreeBSD in Dimension 1100 before ? Thankyou alot for your help again.

But I don't know how good 5.3 is for the server environment. I've installed 5.3 on three different machines. Two of them without problems. On the third the BTX loader from the boot CD got confused and went nowhere. Announced that loader was being relocated and then after some considerable time that the loader was running -- but then just hung. Worked around the problem by making and using the boot floppies with the actual installation data taken direct from CD. The machine would boot 4.10 installation CD without problems.
