AMD, Cyrix, or compatible 386, 486, or Pentium CPU. You computer
needs an ISA, EISA, VESA, or PCI bus. You will also need 8 megabytes
of RAM to install FreeBSD (though only 4 megabytes to run it after
installation). For best performance, you should have 16 megabytes or
more. 100MB of disk space is required for a minimal installation.</p>
<p>FreeBSD supports most popular Ethernet adaptors,
SCSI&nbsp;controllers, IDE hard drives, multiport serial cards, CD-ROM
drives, tape drives, sound cards, mice, and other hardware. See both
the <a href="&base/FAQ/FAQ.html">Frequently Asked Questions list
</a>and the &a.latest.not;release notes</a> for complete information
on supported hardware.</p>
<p>FreeBSD runs on a variety of PC and Alpha hardware. Please review
the <a href="handbook/install.html#INSTALL-HW">supported
configurations</a> section of the <a href="handbook/">FreeBSD
Handbook</a> for more information.</p>
