Hi,

I have bought solaris 8 for intel, next week I will have it.
My target is install it on my PC computer it has this hardware configuration:

Mainboard : Tyan 1598
CPU : K6-III 400MHz
RAM : 320MB
Video Card : Voodoo3000
HDD : IDE Maxtor 20GB ATA66
NIC : 3com 905B
CD-ROM : Pioneer 36X IDE

Is it possible I will have problems install Solaris 8 for intel ??

Hello, the K6 is AMD trechnology if I'm not mistaken so you
may run into problems with the K6 chip.

To my knowledge, I've seen Solaris on Spoarc and Intel, but
no AMD.

actually it'll probably work just fine on the K6 AMD ... the voodoo tho, i'm not sure about.

the best way is to check the hardware compatibility list from

Hi,

thx for help. I saw the hardware doc, no problems for k6-III but I dont find voodoo 3000, I think will be my problem.
I'm lucky because I have other 2 video card supported STB Lightspeed and Permidia2 chip.
