I'm thinking about upgrading my Dell Pentium 75Mhz (running FreeBSD
2.1R) to a Pentium Pro 200Mhz by changing the motherboard. I don't
think I should have any problems, I mean, my installed FreeBSD should
run fine (once all my boards and periferals are installed in the new
board). But just in case, is there anything or problem, I should be
aware of before I make the upgrade?

Thanks for any input,
