Yea, go ahead and use nv (or some other FOSS) driver, so that the hardware 
that you payed more than 100 bux for goes unused.

Has anyone used the Nouveau driver?  I tried nv awhile on AMD64, but my 
eForce 8600 GTS 512MB could not even do full screen dvd playback without 
choking(it was dual head but still...).  I don't really need much more 
performance than that, so if anyone has had a good experience please 
share.  I don't really feel like farking w/ xorg.conf for another 2 days.

Welcome to FreeBSD.  Since you're new, it's likely that you'll have many
such questions regarding hardware compatibility.  The link below will take
you to the hardware notes for the most recent release (7.2):

Best of luck,

nVidia was just an example.  Yes, the nv driver will do the job, but
3D is lacking.

well, without more information. I can definitively say maybe FreeBSD
works just fine on many multi-cpu machines.

No, it runs on 32-bit Intel i386 machines (regular PCs) also.

Hi dude,

FreeBSD is ALSO available for 64bit systems, like AMD64 etc,
but also for normal personal computers. Like the ones i am using
i386 architecture.

So i am sorry but you are not going to have donations to brach janney
:):)

Cheers :)

If you:

   Use FreeBSD to set up a hosting service,
   charge your customers, and save your
   profits
OR:

   Package your own distribution of
   FreeBSD and provide technical support
   for your money-paying clientele at $X.00
   per call and save your profits 
OR: 

   {insert $strategy here}

You might be able to afford that 64-bit
box a bit sooner.  Good luck! :-D
More seriously, you might want to
read the FreeBSD handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook

--- it will tell you a lot about FreeBSD;
it includes the following statement:
FreeBSD is a 4.4BSD-Lite based
operating system for the Intel
architecture (x86) and DEC Alpha
based systems. Ports to other
architectures are also underway.
My first FreeBSD machine was a
233MHz Pentium with an ancient
hard drive.  You can learn a lot,
that is, tons from involvement
with this OS.  Maybe you're up to
it?  If so, welcome to FBSD-land!
