There are even nVidia binary > drivers for FreeBSD, but you must check if they support your card. i386 is 32-bit and amd64 is 64-bit.

Like I discovered though you may want to grab an appropriate LiveCD to match your hardware though, because your hardware may be too recent for a release CD. See my thread about 5 days back in the archives--some people that replied gave me links to where the release CDs were. Cheers, -Garrett
