I wanted to run FreeBSD on a Dell PowerEdge 2900. It is running a  
quad Zeon.

Bellow is a clip from dmesg and I wanted to make sure I installed the  
correct FreeBSD version to support this system. I downloaded the  
AMD64 architecture version of FreeBSD. Did I choose the correct ISO  
to install on this server?

If so is there a central location or a good place to start reading  
about 64 bit processors so I can run this efficiently?

Also why does the first CPU show up as BSP and the rest show AP. What  
does BSP and AP mean?
