I guess I'd have to respond with a similar story. I've been running it
for over 10 yrs. and on some *really* obscure hardware. Some *very*
old stuff also. I'm running 7 SMP motherboards now, and they run
like a top on 5.4-STABLE. But really. I've used some *real* cheap stuff
and never had any trouble. Though it *sure* doesn't hurt to check the
hardware list. That is so kindly provided on the web page and with the
installation CD.

FreeBSD is great!
'nuff said.
