I just bought a low end Athlon 64 box from pcclub.com. They have a store near
me with reasonable prices and no &$%&()&()& rebates!
The box: Enpower Nitro 4 $434
Motherboard: Gigabyte A-K8N51GMF-9
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Memory: 512MB DDR400
CDR/DVD Combo: 52X32X52+16X
The board is nforce4.
I figure that if the network doesn't work I'll put in an Intel PRO100/M.
If the graphics won't do X, I have also ordered various video cards from
various places that should work.
I have NetBSD/amd64 3.0 release CD.
I have NetBSD/amd64 -current (the latest from NetBSD-daily/HEAD) CD.
I have OpenBSD 3.8 amd64 CD.
Solaris 10 is on the way.
How well will NetBSD run on this box?
