6.2-RELEASE would be a better choice.

More than 90% of them do; I don't know about all of them.  You might
try a FreeBSD live CD (such as "FreeSBIE") and see what kind of
performance you get.  I think that a new FreeSBIE is out based on
FreeBSD 6.2 --- you could check at www.freesbie.org.

Good luck!
