Dear FreeBSD staff member,

I have no idea what all these platforms mean, I am especially confused by the following 
statement: 

"operating system for x86 compatible (including Pentium and Athlon), amd64 compatible 
(including Opteron, Athlon 64"

And when I look to the left in the menu, I don't see x86 as a category. I am currently 
employing an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ as a processor so I have no idea how to proceed. What 
platform should I use for the processor I am using?

Thank you in advance, I am looking forward to using your OS =)

Regards,
