Considering its got 8gigs of ram and is currently using FreeBSD Amd64 kernel I am wondering if I should leave it as or change over to i386 with PAE mode. The issue is that I can't use libthr under Amd64 on Java and I want to try and get as much as I can from the server, does any one know when we will be able to use libthr/java on Amd64? I recall some one posted it was now possible under -current but I want to use at least stable/release. If any one could give me any kind of ball-park time say 1st half 2007 or even better 6.5-release that would be highly appreciated. Also if any one remembers my original benchmarks I posted on Java just letting you know I might post more benchmarks if/when I can get this server to use libthr for Java, as it would be interesting to see how much performance can be gained from Java per core. Cheers, Michael
