All, I purchased a amd anthlon 64 3700 (754) to be used with VMWARE 5.5. FreeBSD was going to be the guest OS. It seems that VMWARE only works with amd 64 bit (939). I was wondering if the performance gain of FreeBSD 64 bit really be significant compared to 32bit FreeBSD. I was also wondering if all the ports for FreeBSD 64 running as 64 bit applications. If the performance is minimal then I will not go through the hassle of sending stuff back. v/r Derrick
