I have over 500 ports on both. One was and is running up to =20 date Stable and the other up to date Current. I was planning on going =20 to AMD64 but with the current results, I really doubt that I will make =20 the change until well after the current 7.0 release. I made this decision based on recommendations made on this list a few =20 days ago. You might want to search the mailing lists if you need more =20 assurance and if no just enjoy the AMD64. I'm happy with their =20 performance and price. enjoy, ed > > Best Regards, > Vladimir > > On 04/07/07, Yordan Yordanov <htll@abv.bg> wrote: >> >> Hello >> >> I want to install the last stable release of FreeBSD Unix on my desktop >> machine with AMD64 processor.
