Not a amd64, but still a nice one. I have a Toshiba Tecra M3 that is
working out nicely. The only thing not working under freebsd is the
gigabit ethernet and the modem. The rest is working nicely. You need
to run releng_6 on it. releng_5_4 has hangs due to something
involving USB detection or the like. I am happy with how it runs
quake 4 under freebsd.
