I already have freebsd desktop and laptop. I want to get small box, to put it in a corner, left in my room and play with it. The only small case available here is chieftec bt-02b-180. There is not much space inside. So, integrated. On the laptop I type this I have: CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30GHz (2294.84-MHz K8-class CPU) Graphics works with kms. Once it is up, I cannot go back to console. No biggie for now. What I want to ask is: what intel cpu in fact? I'm not familiar with the topic. Would be perfect if I might go with g550 or si- milar cheap one. i3-2120 is over 100 euros here. Add mobo and you see how it goes. >From earlier posts I was sure something like a4-3300 plus a55m motherboard would suffice.

I might bother gentle readers, but have no clue what to buy and stay alive. I need exact processor name. So, if someone has amd or intel, integrated, wirking on amd64 5.2, please say the name of it and I will get the same one. Best regards Zoran
