Hello,
The CURRENT (9.0R) release notes have the following to say about the
AMD64 port:
-------------------------->8-------------------------------------
As of this writing, the following processors are supported:
...
* All Intel Core 2 (not Core Duo) and later processors
...
-------------------------->8-------------------------------------
Yet I see many people on the Internet claiming that they're running
FreeBSD version <= 9.0 successfully with Core Duos. What's the meaning
of this? I own a C2D E8400 (Wolfdale) processor, would I perhaps be
safer chosing the i386 port? Or is this all hyperbole?
I'd appreciate any time you could spare explaining this to me.
Cordially,
Frank.
