7 STABLE on Fujitsu Siemens E8420/E8410 /Lenovo T61

[Jakub Lach]

Hi.

I'm going to buy notebook soon.

My basic requirments are:

-robust construction
-FreeBSD amd64 7 STABLE OS
-2GB+/4GB RAM, preferably DDR3
-working sound, wifi
-working PCMCIA
-working Speedstep
-working temperature monitoring
(mbmon or similar)
-moderate power consumption
-fast core 2 penryn cpu

Since nvidia driver doesn't support amd64, their cards are out of question. 
Moreover, there are heat/voltage problems with them recently.

E8420 is using Intel GMA X4500 HD, will it work with FreeBSD?

I've found this:

Any thoughts are appreciated, I've already read "Laptop suggestions?" by
Frank Mayhar-2
