What a PITA! :-) Ehm well, I must admit I never tried that, for a simple (and silly?) reason: freebsd installation selects the i386 SMP kernel by default... But of course if you (and Mike Jakubik) strongly suggest it would be a good idea, why not, I will give a try asap :-) Any special thing I should take care of when switching from the i686 kernel to the amd64 one? Will the systems be quicker this way, or will it "just" help with this 4GB memory limit? (systems are going to be "simple" web & mail hosting servers, with mysql, php, qmail, clamav, etc.).
