I *think* this is the same driver used with my work laptop (which I
don't have at hand to check, unfortunately), also with ATI graphics
hardware.
yes, most nvidia hardware will give you much better performance on
OpenSolaris (provided the card is fairly recent)

As far as I know the situation with ATI is that, while ATI supplies
well-performing binary drivers for MS Windows (of course) and Linux, there is
no such thing for other OSs. So OpenSolaris uses standardized interfaces of

Brandon makes a good point. I think that's an option to pursue if you
don't want to risk messing up your Windows install.
If you can, dedicate entire disks, rather that partitions, to ZFS.
It's easier to manage. ZFS is managed by the VMs processor in this
case, so you will take a bigger

I'm experimenting with a zfs home server. Running Opensol-11 by
way of vmware on WinXP.
It seems one way to avoid all the hardware problems one might run into
trying to install opensol on available or spare hardware.
Are there some bad gotchas about running opensol/zfs through vmware and
