1 DragonFly BSD runs on recent PCs supporting the amd64 (x86_64) microarchitecture and an **IBM-PC compatible BIOS boot method**. Up to version 3.8, the i386 (x86) 32-bit architecture was also supported.
3 This page only references a small part of the hardware which can potentially run with DragonFly; if a piece of hardware is not in this list this only means nobody has tested it or reported its working state.
9 * 1.8 GHz Intel Atom 64-bit 2-core 2-hyperthread CPU, 4 GB RAM.
10 * Display (including X), sound (snd_hda), USB (tested by installing from thumb drive), hard drive, network, and PS/2 mouse and keyboard all work.
14 * Intel GPUs are supported up to the Haswell generation
16 ## System Boards and chipsets
18 Most desktop and server class mainboards using Intel or AMD chipsets are supported; the devices listed in this section are known to run really well with DragonFly BSD.
22 * Gigabyte UD2H / UD3H series (Such as);
23 ** Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H works extremely well, less software RAID AHCI controller, which is not a real RAID controller.
24 * Asrock H77 boards. Everything is supported
25 * Asrock and Gigabyte socket 1150 (Haswell) boards
35 * Supermicro X8 series
37 * Supermicro X9 series
41 * Supermicro H8SGL and H8SGL-i boards
42 * Supermicro H8QG6, H8QG6-F and H8QG6+-F boards. As of 2011-04-15, there is no working driver for the included SAS adapter
48 * Intel ICH7 and more recent chipsets
49 * AMD 700-series chipsets
50 * Silicon Image 3124/3132 chipsets
52 ### SATA RAID controllers

74 Devices supported by the mfi(4) driver
76 * LSI MegaRAID SAS 8408E
78 Devices supported by the mps(4) driver
80 * LSI Logic SAS2008-based controllers such as Asus PIKE 2008
82 Devices supported by the twa(4) driver
86 Devices supported by the tws(4) driver
92 ### Gigabit ethernet adapters
94 Devices supported by the em(4) driver:
96 * Intel 82540, 82541ER, 82541PI, 82542, 82543, 82544, 82545, 82546,
97 82546EB, 82546GB, 82547
98 * Intel 82571, 81572, 82573, and 82574
100 The igb(4) driver provides support for PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet adapters
101 based on the Intel 82575 and 82576 Ethernet controller chips.
103 The re(4) driver supports Realtek RTL8169, RTL8169S, RTL8110S, RTL8168S, RTL8111S and RTL8101E ethernet chipsets
105 ### 10 Gigabit ethernet adapters
107 The mxge(4) driver supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Myricom LANai Z8E chips
109 The ixgbe(4) driver supports the Intel PRO/10GbE adapters based on the 82598 and 82599 chip families
113 The products listed in this section are known to have some serious problems or not work at all with DragonFly BSD.
115 * Asus M2N4-SLI: USB is not working on this model
117 * HP Pavilion dv7 laptops: as of 2012-07 it is impossible to run DragonFly on them due to broken ACPI interrupt routing in their firmware.
