FreeBSD is a fully capable OS in its own right. You said you have an i5 processor? That should certainly be 64-bit capable. Any mainstream processors Intel has produced in the last ten years or so will be 64-bit capable. Given the choice, use a 64bit OS. Like I said -- try it. The worst that will happen is you'll create some useless installation media that you can't boot from. Network and VGA should work, the webcam could well work but the fingerprint reader might be tricky. Cheers, Matthew
