WOW... Found an excellent working 133mhz PC at a market today ( ) and thought instantly: AROS !!!

So, what would be the "perfect combination" of hardware between graphics, sound & ethernet etc?

I am ready to buy all new hardware for it (well, it must be pretty "casual" hardware like the brands you find everywhere (voodoo, soundblaster, 3com etc) and be either ISA or PCI)!!!


Only PCI cards are supported. For graphics, there are drivers for nVidia and ATI (Radeon or better). However, most cards will work with the VESA driver, albeit a bit slowly. For Ethernet cards, there are drivers for 3Com, RTL8029, PCNet, Intel PRO100 and Prism II wireless. I'm not sure about sound.

Is there any hardware (gfx/snd/ethernet) that works without any configuration???


The drivers work without much configuration. You just need to specify the right driver for each card. You don't need to enter interrupt numbers or anything like that.

Is it difficult to get internet via broadband working???


It's more difficult than it should be, but not too hard. There's no DHCP configuration, so you have to enter the IP address, netmask etc.
