As far as I know, intel's implementation of the AMD64 extension is _still_ called EM64T. Do not confuse it with IA64 which is something completely different. > So I bought an ASUS P4P800-VM with a > 3.0GHz processor that supports Intel EM64T and 1Gb of Infineon PC3200 RAM > memory. The system is ok...so why I can't install BSD 64 bits with my system > ??? First, this is the wrong list. Your question should rather be asked on the freebsd-questions mailing list. Second, we cannot help you because your message contains zero details. What exactly did you try to do (i.e which ISO did you download, exactly)? And what was the result when you tried to boot it? Did it hang, freeze, crash, print any error messages? And at what point during the installation did the problem occur? Without any details, our answer can only be as exact as your question. I.e. when simply asking "Why can't I install", then the answer is simply "Because you did something wrong". Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
