On a amd64-capable system, using i386 might be interesting because less RAM is needed; I don't know about execution speed of 32 bit code on a 64 bit CPU. If the system does not have more than approx. 4 GB, i386 won't reach the maximum amount of memory it can manage without PAE. So maybe on older 64 bit system it might actually be an advantage to use i386, as long as you don't need any specific software that's only available on amd64. On a i386-capable system, amd64 of course won't even work. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
