+ <title>Supported Processors and Motherboards</title>
+
+ <para>&os;/i386 runs on a wide variety of
+ <quote>IBM PC compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
+ hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible to
+ exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported by &os;.
+ Nevertheless, some general guidelines are presented here.</para>
+
+ <para>Almost all i386-compatible processors are supported. All
+ Intel processors beginning with the 80386 are supported, including
+ the 80386, 80486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III,
+ Pentium 4, and variants thereof, such as the Xeon and Celeron
+ processors. (While technically supported, the use of the 80386SX is
+ specifically not recommended.) All i386-compatible AMD processors
+ are also supported, including the Am486, Am5x86, K5, K6 (and variants),
+ Athlon (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and Athlon Thunderbird), and Duron processors.
+ The AMD &Eacute;lan SC520 embedded processor is supported.
+ The Transmeta Crusoe is recognized
+ and supported, as are i386-compatible processors from Cyrix and
+ NexGen.</para>
+
+ <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
+ architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and PCI
+ expansion busses are well-supported. There is some limited support
+ for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>) expansion bus used in the
+ IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
+
+ <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
+ supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard bugs
+ may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of the &a.smp;
+ may yield some clues.</para>
+
+ <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
+ varying levels of support for certain hardware features such as
+ sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion slots.
+ These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways between machines,
+ and frequently require special-case support in &os; to work around
+ hardware bugs or other oddities. When in doubt, a search of the
+ archives of the &a.mobile; may be useful.</para>
