Hi.

I'm going to buy a new machine for a multimedia storage server on NetBSD
port i386. I think I'll use -current, because we have a Gbps network card
using the syssrc/sys/dev/pci/if_ti.c driver.

Does anyone have a suggestion of what hardware I shoud choose, which is
supported in NetBSD? I have been looking at Dell Precision 420/620. Have
anyone tried these machines?
32/64 bit PCI bus? As we have a network card, I think the bus and the disk
HW might be most important.

Is there an updated hardware list for -current for
http://www.netbsd.org/Hardware/pci.html ?

Best regards and thank you for your help,
Paal Halvorsen
