| I'm planning to buy a new box, and would like to move to
| amd64 hardware. 

[snipped] 
 
| is it possible to run 32-bit FreeBSD (4.x) on amd64
| hardware?

Thanks to all who replied! I've got pretty clear answers.

| PS: I've been reading the list for recommended
| motherboards and chipsets and probably will be sticking to
| an MSI with a Via K8T800 chipset. If you have other suggestions
| I'll be more than glad to hear them. Thanks!

+----]

Right now I'm having trouble finding places to buy MSI
motherboards here in Argentina. Right now I have only one option.
But it seems like I may be able to buy a Tyan S2850 or a
S2875 ... also heard good things about these ones.
 
Thanks again,

Fernan
