I wasn't aware that amd64 was the same 64 bit architecture as used by Intel. Are there any known backwards compatibility issues with running i386 linux binaries for example if I switch over to amd64? Also, could I switch to amd64 by just changing make.conf and doing a buildworld and buildkernel or would I have to do a binary upgrade or maybe even a clean install? Baldur
