I wanted to know if there are issues for audio, when using 64 bit and got this reply: "If you do not have a _specific_ requirement for 32 bit, use 64 bit, of course if you have a 64 bit CPU. :-) Specific requirements _could_ be wine and nVidia's proprietary GPU driver, as far as I know." - Polytropon (Btw. thank you Polytropon :) I guess in the web I read something about issues with VBox, but perhaps I'm confusing VBox with wine. I chose 64 bit and will stay with it, even if I should install another version of FreeBSD today. Regards, Ralf
