Through its binary compatibility layer, OpenBSD/i386 can run Linux, FreeBSD, BSD/OS, SVR4 (including Solaris) and IBCS2 binaries, to some extent. Most applications will work flawlessly. -

XFree86 support is available for most graphics cards, using either recent XFree86 (as of OpenBSD 3.4, 4.3.0) servers whenever possible, or XFree86 3.3.6 servers otherwise. -

Regular floating-point coprocessors (80387DX, 80387SX, 80487SX) are required when not built into the processor. -

Everything that is a clone of the 386 or up should work fine. The only CPU that is known to work poorly (due to flawed motherboard designs) is the Cyrix 386DLC. -
