FreeBSD 9.0 for my new Pc

[netpumber]

Hello out there.

I'm thinking to buy a new PC with these parts:

• CPU:
  AMD A8-3870K - 3 GHz - Cache L2 4 MÎ’
• MOTHERBOARD:
  GIGABYTE GA-A75M-UD2H or Asrock A75 PRO4 FM1 A75 ATX
• RAM:
  Patriot 8GB 1600MHz AMD Memory PERFORMANCE EDITION DUAL CHANNEL KIT

I want to install on it FreeBSD 9.0. Is there any known problem with this AMD CPU and FreeBSD?

Thanks in advance.

Would it be a desktop? If yes, are you looking towards using built-in video card?

 

[netpumber]

Yes, I want it for desktop using the on-board video card.

You think that will not work with the on-board video card?

As far as I remember, this series of Radeon has from limited to no support. Try searching / asking freebsd-x11 list.

Radeon cards up to the 4000-series are supported with the current driver. Anything newer, like the Radeon 6550 in that APU, is not currently supported.

So, it's better to change the composition of the PC or to wait to support this video card?

It's unknown when Radeon KMS support work will be started. At present, only Intel graphics have it, and it's still experimental. So either add a Radeon 4000-series card (the 4650 has worked well for me), or an NVidia card with their binary driver.
