Your FreeBSD hardware ?
Wondering if you folks care to share your hardware configuration with the rest of us (I realize that FreeBSD has a list, but I am sure that there is a ton of unlisted/undocumented hardware). I am running FreeBSD 4.* with the following configuration (I must admit that I am looking for an upgrade, am I the only one with such hardware ???) :
  • Asus P55T2P4 motherboard
  • Asus P3BF motherboard
  • 340MB SDRAM Memory
  • Generic IDE CDROM
  • Toshiba SCSI CDROM
  • IBM 9LZX 9GB hard drive
  • Tekram DC-390U3W Ultra SCSI controller
  • Adaptec 2940UW Ultra SCSI controller
  • Matrox Millenium G200 AGP card
  • Diamond Rage 8MB AGP video card
What hardware (motherboards, video cards, SCSI and RAID controllers) works absolutely out-of-the-box and what hardware have you owned or know about as having issues & problems ?

Your feeback, comments, help gratefully appreciated !!!!!

Tyan Tiger MP (I put the grrr in Tiger baby!!!)
2 x Duron 1Ghz
512 MB Crucial Reg ECC DDR
Intel Pro 100
40 GB Seagate Baracuda ATA IV
Matrox G450
Hercules Muse XL
Hauppauge WinTV
Enermax "Whisper" 350 watt PS
all in a Coolermaster ATC 200

Note: The AGP controller on the 762 chipset is unsupported, but there is a patch floating around out there that adds support. Everything else runs fine out of the box. I run the G450 in dual-head with the matrox drivers.

I am running FreeBSD 4.5 on a Soyo-econobox ($129 Fry's Special):

Soyo K7VEMPro with built in:
Trident CyberBlade/i AGP Video Card
[This card sucks under XFree86 3.3.6 but works ok under 4.1.0]
RealTek 8139 NIC (rl driver)
AC97 Sound (pcm driver)

256 meg 'o Micron PC133 Memory
17 gig Maxtor 91700U5 IDE

This machine does an adequate job but is not definately without a doubt is not something that I would trust to production. It's just a farting around box.


Code:
pci1: <Trident model 8500 VGA-compatible display device> at 0.0 irq 10 rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xe7000000-0xe70000ff irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0 pcm0: <VIA VT82C686A> port 0xe400-0xe403,0xe000-0xe003,0xdc00-0xdcff irq 5 at device 7.5 on pci0 ad0: 16228MB <Maxtor 91700U5> [32972/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66

OK Mine's probably the worst out of all the machines posted here

AMD Duron 800
192MB of PC133 SDRAM
10GB Hard Drive
nVidia TNT2 16MB Video Card
Onboard Sound
50x CD-ROM Drive
40x/24x/10x CDRW Drive (not used under FreeBSD yet)

I am just starting out and experimenting with FreeBSD at the moment.

I think I've got you beat isuru. I've got FreeBSD 4.5 on the following hardware:

Celeron 366 PPGA
128MB SDRAM (1-64MB PC100 DIMM & 2-32MB PC100 DIMMs)
4.3GB harddrive (dual booted with WinXP Pro)
floppy drive
no CDROM (borrowed one from my other system to install the OS)
PC Chips M741LRT motherboard with integrated:
- SiS 620 video
- C-media audio (currently not working)
- Davicom nic (currently not working)
- PCTel modem (currently not working)

Like others, I'm just using this machine to learn FreeBSD with. Works great so far though!

Hey Flyp!

I think I am leading on the CPU front. Can't see anyone with a CPU slower than a PII 233

Well, it runs MkLinux, but my Mac makes all of your machines look like screamers.

Performa 6116CD
60 Mhz PPC
64 MB RAM (traded a 12er of PBR for the RAM)
700 MB Quantum SCSI HD
Integrated Apple ethernet
Integrated video (256 colors max!)
Integrated sound

This machine takes more than a minute to load Mozilla. It takes a week to complete a SETI work unit. It's too slow to play MP3s at all. About the only thing it's good for is xgalaga!!!!

Ha ha ha You got me there! I originally had FreeBSD running on a dual PII 233 but I had some hardware problems with the video card on that system. I've got a couple of Pentium 166 carcasses laying around but I think I'll stick to learning on my current setup..... for now!

Ah! I think you are beaten here as well! I had a typo, actually it was a Pentium 233 (not PII). If that's not enough, I have a Pentium 133 that's dying to be put back in its motherboard.



Well this is all in good fun, I am happy that our FreeBSD comrades are wholeheartedly sharing their hardware specs which can only benefit all of us. Way to go folks!! Keep up the good work!
