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 BSD; if a piece of hardware is not in this list this only means nobody has tested it or reported its working state.
5 ## Well supported Laptops
7 * Lenovo Thinkpads x250 and x260
14 * 1.8 GHz Intel Atom 64-bit 2-core 2-hyperthread CPU, 4 GB RAM.
15 * Display (including X), sound (snd_hda), USB (tested by installing from thumb drive), hard drive, network, and PS/2 mouse and keyboard all work.
19 * Intel GPUs are supported up to the Skylake generation (2016 machines)
21 ## System Boards and chipsets
23 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.
27 * Gigabyte UD2H / UD3H series (Such as)
28 * Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H works extremely well, less software RAID AHCI controller, which is not a real RAID controller.
29 * Asrock H77 boards; Everything is supported.
30 * Asrock and Gigabyte socket 1150 (Haswell) boards
40 * Supermicro X8 series
42 * Supermicro X9 series
46 * Supermicro H8SGL and H8SGL-i boards

102 * Intel 82571, 81572, 82573, and 82574
104 The igb(4) driver provides support for PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Intel 82575 and 82576 Ethernet controller chips.
106 The re(4) driver supports Realtek RTL8169, RTL8169S, RTL8110S, RTL8168S, RTL8111S and RTL8101E ethernet chipsets.
108 ### 10 Gigabit ethernet adapters
110 The mxge(4) driver supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Myricom LANai Z8E chips.
112 The ixgbe(4) driver supports the Intel PRO/10GbE adapters based on the 82598 and 82599 chip families.
116 The products listed in this section are known to have some serious problems or not work at all with DragonFly BSD.
118 * Asus M2N4-SLI: USB is not working on this model
120 * HP Pavilion dv7 laptops: as of 2012-07 it is impossible to run DragonFly BSD on them due to broken ACPI interrupt routing in their firmware.
