Netbook (Atom N270) and FreeBSD

Hey, new here.

My netbook's specs are as follows:
  • Intel Atom N270 @ 1.6Ghz
  • 1 GB RAM DDR2 SDRAM
  • Intel GMA 945
  • 160 GB HDD
I'm wondering if FreeBSD will run decently enough (providing I use a light DE) on these specifications. :)

The netbook seems to have the same specs as my Acer Aspire One A150 (aka Acer Aspire One ZG5). FreeBSD works fine on it including suspend/resume.
 
I am also using 11.1 REL fine on same atom N450 amd64 with 2GB RAM. I feel a total of 3 to 4 GB ram+swap would be good. But I use port system and took long time for X & LXDE. Also failed to install FF from port. I had to go for pkg system for it.
tobik@, how I can use suspend/resume on same. Use this thread as I failed to get clear information.

Suspend/resume work out of the box on my netbook. I just have to run zzz and it suspends.
