Generally, drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit platforms should work. FreeBSD/amd64 is a very young platform on FreeBSD. While the core FreeBSD kernel and base system components are generally fairly robust, there are likely to still be rough edges, particularly with third party packages." scares me. Do you really think it is better than PAE? -- Artem
