Do you see all/any of this getting resolved with the release of 6.0 ?

This of course is not the first port that has this limitation.
I was really stoked to get my first amd64 with 1-gig of ram, I
had no idea that these bumps would occur.  I run 5.4 on i386 and
it was that experience that led me to get the 64bit box.

I have it triple booted with "FreeBSD-5.4/WinXP-Pro/SuSE-9.3"
but keep it booted into BSD to keep the faith!
