I have been using i386 (-STABLE) for years now and was wondering if switching to amd64 finally makes sense (i.e. are enough ports working on it now [xfrce4, firefox, libreoffice, openjdk-6, tomcat, mysql, apache22, flash, cups, devel/aegis, devel/cook, devel/fhist, virtualbox-ose, nvidia-kmod are the minimal ones I need]) the main reason for asking is PAE seems to be broken now and virtualbox-ose refuses to let me install 64 bit OS's like Win 8.
