Hi all My news computer just arrive ;-) The cpu is a AMD 64 FX 55. I've try to install FreeBSD 53-amd64 but the hard drive is SATA and the boot hang when he detect the drive. The install work with FreeBSD 53-i386. I think i can, with many effort, find a another DD with IDE interface, but my question is : If I install amd64 version where is the difference between i386 ? Well I forgot to say : I'm not programer, i'm just use : vi, mozilla, tex... Whit this very standard applications (and I think this application is not re-write to use 64 bits cpu) are there some difference betwen 386 version and amd64 ?
