Are there any differences in the FreeBSD ports for these two platform: FreeBSD/i386 and amd64? In the FreeBSD handbook I saw a workaround which should be applied to set up FreeBSD for some chipsets. If I have such a problem can I try to install i386 version >on my machine. There is no reason not to work, but I want to be sure that this is possible. > >Greetings from Bulgaria > >Yordan > > > >----------------------------------------------------------------- >С бензин в кръвта! >http://auto-motor-und-sport.bg/ >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > > Yordan, This FreeBSD box I am using to email you is a dual AMD 64 running on i386 7.0 CURRENT. It runs just fine....fast. The AMD64 version of the os gave me many errors and wouldn't run the video card so I switched to the i386. top -S shows it is running efficiently.
