This is the dilemna ... the new computer is 64bit, and nvidia doesn't support FreeBSD/64bit due to a myriad of problems with FreeBSD :( Apparently there is a group on the FreeBSD side trying to address this, but the nVidia side doesn't seem to hold much hope in it getting in in time for 7.x, so 6.x is a ways out yet :( For those not aware, but interested, apparently this is 'the list' from their side (relatively old): <http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-hackers&m=115157983106569&w=2>; And this is the list on our side: <http://wiki.freebsd.org/NvidiaFeatureRequests>; - ---- Marc G.
