| 5 | # THIS LIST IS GROSSLY OUTDATED AND GIVES JUST A FEW TESTED EXAMPLES AT BEST. PLEASE REFER TO OUR [MANUAL PAGES](https://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man) WHICH HAVE MUCH MORE COMPREHENSIVE LISTS OF SUPPORTED HARDWARE |
| 6 | |
| 7 | DragonFly BSD runs on recent PCs (currently only) supporting the amd64 (x86_64) 64-bit architecture. Up to version 3.8, the i386 (x86) 32-bit architecture was also supported. |
| 8 | The UEFI (with GPT) is also supported, but the installer has *not* been updated to work with UEFI, therefore one has to do manual installation and configuration. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | This page only references a small part of the hardware which can potentially run with DragonFly BSD; if a piece of hardware is not in this list this only means nobody has tested it or reported its working state. |
