Hi.
I'm going to buy notebook soon.
My basic requirments are:
-robust construction
-FreeBSD amd64 7 STABLE OS
-2GB+/4GB RAM, preferably DDR3
-working sound, wifi
-working PCMCIA
-working Speedstep
-working temperature monitoring
(mbmon or similar)
-moderate power consumption
-fast core 2 penryn cpu
Since nvidia driver doesn't support amd64, their cards are out of question.
Moreover, there are heat/voltage problems with them recently.
E8420 is using Intel GMA X4500 HD, will it work with FreeBSD?
I've found this:
