Indeed:

root@newserver#/root(1)# uname -a
FreeBSD newserver.kad-hg.org 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #0 r243826: 
Tue Dec  4 06:55:39 UTC 2012 
root@obrian.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

Thanks for the clarification.  I didn't try 9.1-release amd64.

I have no intention of using amd64 because of past trouble with alignment 
in some ports.  No need anyway: I am using 8.1-release i386 on our current 
T105, and am essentially going to clone all the functionality for the 
T110, and then abandon the T105.  I am about halfway through that effort 
so far, no trouble at all.  It will serve a LAN with about 20 clients. 
The T105 is hardly loaded at all; the T110 is replacing it for two 
reasons: T105 is six years old and has had two major failures recently 
(PS quit, and a drive wore out); needed more HD space.  So bought a new 
machine.

I do run 8.2-release amd64 on my laptop - a Dell E6520.  Nice.
