Hi, Don't know if this will make it through your spam filter, or if you'll have the bandwidth to respond, but here goes. Why doesn't the FreeBSD project support a 32bit intel architecture newer than 386? Pretty much every PC in operation today is at least 686/athalon. Wouldn't the architechtural improvements to the x86 architecture over the last 10 years provide performance improvements to FreeBDSD? Just wondering, couldn't really find a forum to post such a question to. Thank you for reading my email! And thank you for your hard work on the FreeBSD project! And if you have just a minute to craft an answer, Thank you for your reply! ciao... johnea
