Has there been any view towards supporting these on FreeBSD? They're on all the recent Intel motherboards for the last year and a half or so. Also, is there any particular benefit (or penalty) to running the amd64 build on Quad-Core or i7-series processors? I have an app that might benefit from access to more than 4GB of physical RAM as the working dataset grows but am hesitant to run the 64bit version on that processor (which I understand isn't REALLY a 64-bit chip) if I'm going to run into a penalty for doing so in terms of generalized performance. -- -- Karl Denninger karl@denninger.net --------------040403000404040704040808--
