This configuration does not exist -- AMD does not have a HTT (SMT) processor. AMD will lauch full-fledged dual-core (CMP) CPU's later this year. That said, FreeBSD 5.3 should run just fine on a 4-CPU 4GB Opteron server. That said, I prefer to run 5-STABLE (RELENG_5) on the FreeBSD/amd64 platform as it gets a lot of improvements committed to it. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
