It should do just fine :)
Be aware that the default kernel for BSD is set to run on a single
processor. However, rebuilding the kernel for SMP support is quite a
simple process.
When installing, be sure to include all the source code (it's an option
during the installation process). Once that's done, the kernel rebuild
is possible.
