Coming from the Linux world I am pretty new to FreeBSD, please bare with me= . I find the FreeBSD handbook pretty useful and I just managed to update 7.0-RELEASE to 7-STABLE from source. I have an Intel core4quad CPU and was wondering if I now have a 64bit FreeBSD. I am a bit confused because from /usr/src/sys/ I only see the directories amd64, ia64 and sparc64 with the number 64 in it. Another question, is setting CPUTYPE advised or discouraged? I am aware about problems if you mix binaries built with different CPU flags; not a problem for me because coming from Gentoo I am used to build everything myself.
