I have some questions about FreeBSD and I'd love to be helped if 
possible:

1.  Does FreeBSD run on a PC with 2 Pentium or Pentium-PRO processors 
motherboard ? Does anyone have experience about that ?


2. Is there any known comparison between performance of a BSD-Intel 
 (Pentium-166 and/or Pentium-Pro) and  UNIX-RISC/6000 for scientific 
calculation purposes ?
