We are looking at the Gateway 2000 and Micron Pentium Pro (686) 200 mhz 
computers for our new FreeBSD server.  The Micron uses the Intel Orion 
Core Logic chipset.

We have heard there may be problems with these cpus and FreeBSD. We would 
appreciate any information regarding compatibility with the this cpu. Or 
alternative hardware for comparable processing power with FreeBSD.

Thanks in advance for any info.
