Hello,
I use to use Solaris 7/8/9 x86 and Sparc versions on Sun Computers and Home build x86 PC's.
Back in 1999 I had a custom built PC with Dual Xeons and Intel Motherboard running Solaris 7
I have not used Solaris since 2001.
I am currently using an MS-Windows / Apple Mac OS-X home computer and network environment.
I understand Sun/Oracle is no longer building desktop computers.
I would like to build an Oracle Solaris-11 desktop computer.
I would like some recommendations as to what hardware is supported.
I prefer Intel CPU and Nvidia graphics cards.
There is not much information as to what hardware is supported in the Oracle docs.

What Intel CPU's are supported? Intel Core-i3/i5/i7 / Xeons / Dual Xeons ?
What Graphics cards are supported ? Intel GPU / Nvidia ? / AMD ?
In older versions of Solaris 7/8/9 x86 I use to have to use ATI-98 agp graphics cards.
How much ram is supported ?
Are SSD's Supported ? TRIM support ? NVRAM ?
What printers work best with Solaris? I know that Sun Microsystems use to use Lexmark Network printers. I have HP and Epson printers.
Is Wifi and Home networking supported in Solaris-11? If so What Wifi cards work best.
I am looking for hardware that will work Vanilla / Plug and play with Solaris-11
Thanks for your input.
