Depends on the architecture. A 32 bit x86 chip can address 4GB, unless you have the PAE extension in the kernel. In that case it is 64 GB. Beware that some drivers are not compatible with PAE. The amd64 architecture has been tested with 8 GB. For other architectures, see the release notes: http://www.nl.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/hardware.html=20 > Does a dualcore system be considered as SMP system? Say an AMD X2 or Core= 2Duo? Yes, AFAIK.
