EM64T is Intel's 64-bit processor architecture. It uses 64 bit registers so it gets around the 4GB limit. It is very similar to AMD64 architecture and fully supported via the amd64 port. If You have an EM64T machine use the amd64 version of FreeBSD. Cheers, Gabor Kovesdan Marc G. Fournier wrote: > First off, what is it?
