PAE is a horrible hack, and even if you figured out why it won't compile=20
(probably an incompatable driver in your kernel) it's slow.  That particula=
r=20
CPU will run FreeBSD/amd64 just fine.  (I happen to have one)  The drawback=
s=20
to FreeBSD/amd64 are mainly in the desktop arena.  If this is a server I'd =
go=20
for it.
