 Older desktops and laptops often use this 32-bit, x86 architecture.

 Almost all i386-compatible processors with a floating point unit are supported. All Intel(R) processors 486 or higher are supported.
+However, binaries released by the project are compiled for the 686 processor, so a special build will be needed for 486 and 586 systems.

 FreeBSD will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions (PAE) support on CPUs with this feature. A kernel with the PAE feature enabled will detect memory above 4 GB and allow it to be used by the system. However, using PAE places constraints on device drivers and other features of FreeBSD.
