It depends on what you really want. If you don't want 64-bit version OS, I don't think you'll have problems at all. Recently, my PC got fucked up, I've changed the mother board, switched from 32 bit AMD Athlon to a 64 bit AMD Turion, and successfully booted from the previously installed FreeBSD 4.9Release on the hard drive. If you want the 64 bit version of the OS, further investigation from you are needed. Check this out: http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64.html Best Regards, Vladimir On 04/07/07, Yordan Yordanov <htll@abv.bg> wrote: > > Hello > > I want to install the last stable release of FreeBSD Unix on my desktop > machine with AMD64 processor.
