I Hope so, at least for me and my circle of friends, this is the single most important thing that could happen to FreeBSD, since we require decent 3d acceleration and have a large investment in current Nvidia hardware, it is what makes FreeBSD amd64 usable. it is getting harder and harder to live with less than 4GB of memory on i386. I love FreeBSD and I use it everywhere I can, but from a desktop point of view no 64bit nvidia driver is a very big deal. (Eg, it is hard to not use things as simple as Google E= arth) Just my thoughts. Sam Fourman Jr. Fourman Networks
