X-BeenThere: freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the AMD64 platform List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2005 23:30:16 -0000 Hi list, I'm buying a Quad AMD Opteron 64 bits, with 4GB memory. I'd like to know if FreeBSD 5.3 will support a quad-cpu system (with HTT, 8) correctly, without performance losses and consistent operation, no crashes etc. Is the 4GB memory still a problem in amd64 ? Lastly, I'd like to hear experiences of linux-compat games (such as enemy territory, call of duty, halflife 2) running on FreeBSD-AMD64 -- Do they work correctly on this 64bit CPU system ? I want to use FreeBSD as I use on all my servers, but I want to be sure 4 CPUs, 4GB of ram, and 64 bit architecture won't bring me any stability/usability problems under AMD64. Regards
