Looking for powerful machines that runs FreeBSD on it

[Caio Figueiredo Abecia]

It seems to be a problem only on Dell E521/C521 Dimension models.


Here are some of the places that I found talking about the same errors I'm 
having :

Even in NetBSD I still have the same problem.

Thanks for the quick response Bill.
