Greetings,

I've lurked long enough and decided to take the plunge.
I have the above specified desktop machine.
I've done searches and checked out the hardware compatibility list, but
still not sure if all aspects are catered to.
Has anybody installed on this machine before and, if so, did they
encounter any hiccups or outright incompatibilities?
Thanks for any time and trouble taken.
Cheers!

Harry.

I am using a 620 and it works just fine as a server. I have never used it as a desktop.

Yes, it works fine as a desktop, I have FreeBSD 13 running on one and
works fine.
