And I haven't been googling well lately but there seem to be a lot of you with a lot of knowledge and you're willing to share (as am I). This machine is running a D2C E4600 which (as I understand) is a 64-bit cpu, but I'm running fBSD 6.3 which is *not* 64-bit? Might this have anything to do with the crashes? Is there a stable 64-bit version of fBSD I should install? Will it upgrade the 32-bit or should I go from scratch?
