I personally would start with the i386 distribution just ot see whether
FreeBSD supports enough of the hardware to come up.  You can download
the USB-stick image (8.0-RC1-i386-memstick.img) for it, which will make
it easy to do a quick check.

To take advantage of the 64-bit capabilities you have to install the
amd64 distribution, so use 8.0-RC1-amd64-memstick.img.
