FreeBSD 7 on Newer MBs

[Barney Cordoba]

For a variety of reasons I have a client stuck on FreeBSD 7.0 and they're interested in getting a MB that uses the latest CPUS. They're just using the console, so there are no graphics; can someone provide insight as to whether this would be expected to work without serious problems?

"should"  but I'd find one somewhere and try a thumb drive out on it.
7.0 is not so far in the past that there has been any big
architectural change that affects the kernel.

some drivers may not run in the most optimal way. (some sata stuff for
example) bit it should run.

Anyone have an info on whether FreeBSD 7 can be made to run on Cougar Point
chipset? I see that the C202 wasn't officially supported until 8.2 or so,
but is there a compatibility mode that would allow it to be used?
