New machine, new install

Hi all,

Just got some new hardware and I'm planning on installing FreeBSD on it. I just like to know what problems might occur with the choose hw.

AMD Opteron Dual Core 2.2Ghz
Nvidia Quadro FX 1400
Tyan S2865 motherboard
250GB SATA HDD

And 2 Eizo 19" LCD monitors.

This machine will be used for developing php and sql.

I can't see anything that looks problematic in terms of the hardware.

I used to run almost the same hardware with FreeBSD 6.0 on it, and I haven't had critical issues installing and using it. FreeBSD 6.2 seems to be stable release, as far as I can see. Go ahead and let us know if any issues.

Ok, thanks for the help guys. I'll start installing and let you know how it goes.

you might have problems...

send it to me for full testing... :wink:

(I run web stores and other services on less)...

Hi guys,
I have a server mobo intel se7230nh1-e. The chassis is a Sr1475nh1-e.

Intel� Entry Server System SR1475NH1-E - Technical Product Specification [PDF]
Intel� Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E - Intel� Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E support

       I'm trying to run FreeBSD 6.2 on it but the system fans are always at full speed and make some serious noise. I'm running a GENERIC kernel.

       What do you guys think I should do so the temperature is correctly monitored ? Do you need more info on my setup ?


       Thanks. Oli.
