Both i386 and amd64 are tier 1, meaning they are fully supported. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/archs.= html P4 should be able to run in either i386 mode or amd64 mode -- so it's your choice. > I have seen also that "amd64" seems doesn't have all the devices drivers > that "i386" have, so I don't know what to do really. If the amd64 port doesn't support hardware that you require, then you'll need to use the i386 port. > Also I observ that when I run the install CD 1, it recognize the following > disks: >=20 > - ad0 =3D> the main HD (IDE) > - ad12 =3D> one of the SATA HD > - ad8 =3D> the other SATA HD > - ar8 =3D> ???? >=20 > what is this ?

I don't know the answer to this. --=20 Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
