Date: Mon, 11 Mar 1996 17:28:54 -0500 Organization: Silicon Angst Software Lines: 13 Message-ID: <rrwood-1103961728540001@bpci.net3.io.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: bpci.net3.io.org I can pick up an AMD 5x86 CPU + motherboard or Intel P75 + motherboard for similar prices (the latter is obviously a little more pricey). Judging by the specs at AMD's web site, the performance of the 5x86 is similar to the P75, if not slightly better (it's AMD's own site though, so a little skepticism is advisable). What I'm wondering is whether anyone has used or is using an AMD 5x86 system with FreeBSD, and if so, what are you impressions? -Roy
