Please don't ask your question on the subject line, especially one as=20
long as this.

If you mean, can you use i386 version of FreeBSD on a 64-bit AMD, the=20
answer is yes.  Both AMD and Intel 64-bit processors are i386 backwards=20
compatible (as a search on google would have told you).

If you have a 32 bit AMD 2500 (like an Athlon) then that too will work ;-=
