If you:

    Use FreeBSD to set up a hosting service,
    charge your customers, and save your
    profits....

OR:

    Package your own "distribution" of
    FreeBSD and provide technical support
    for your money-paying clientele at $X.00
    per call and save your profits ....

OR: 

    {insert $strategy here}

You might be able to afford that 64-bit
box a bit sooner.  Good luck! :-D

More seriously, you might want to
read the FreeBSD handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook

 --- it will tell you a lot about FreeBSD;
it includes the following statement:

"FreeBSD is a 4.4BSD-Lite based
operating system for the Intel
architecture (x86) and DEC Alpha
based systems. Ports to other
architectures are also underway."

My first FreeBSD machine was a
233MHz Pentium with an ancient
hard drive.  You can learn a lot,
that is, "tons" from involvement
with this OS.  Maybe you're up to
it?  If so, welcome to FBSD-land!
