from 6.3 to 7.0, will this work?
Hi, I am thinking upgrading my hardware to core2 duo to enjoy fbsd 7.0, my old 6.3 runs on amd64 3400+. If I just buy a new m-board+core 2 cpu, can my old installation boot up the system, and then allow me to recompile kernel and stuff? I thought about getting a new drive too to do a fresh install, but my bay is full and kinda on a budget, thank you!!

If you are running AMD64, then no it would not run on an Intel core2 duo based system. Maybe consider an Athlon64 X2? You could also just backup your data, then do a fresh install of FreeBSD 7 for whatever architecture you decide to build out with, and restore your data from the backup. - mdh Looking for last minute shopping deals?

The Core 2 duo chips support the amd64 instruction set. Do make sure that you have the GENERIC kernel kernel installed, so you won't run into missing drivers etc. But before you buy anything, look over the motherboard's specs to see if all the components are supported.

Do make sure that you have the GENERIC kernel kernel installed, so you won't run into missing drivers etc. Well, you can always trial-and-error it with kldload after the fact too usually, since the most basic drivers are very likely still a part of his kernel (ata and friends, pci bus, etc) But before you buy anything, look over the motherboard's specs to see if all the components are supported. Athlon64 X2? You could also just backup your data, Making a backup is always a good idea. :-) For sure. 300-500 gig USB hard drives are inexpensive enough nowadays that there's no excuse not to, and fast enough that they can save you a lot of time. I used one when upgrading from 6.2 to 7 and find myself leaving some not-often-used stuff like old movies and whatnot on it, freeing up more hard drive space anyway. - mdh Looking for last minute shopping deals?
