Hi all
My news computer just arrive ;-) The cpu is a AMD 64 FX 55.
I've try to install FreeBSD 53-amd64 but the hard drive is SATA and the
boot hang when he detect the drive.
The install work with FreeBSD 53-i386.
I think i can, with many effort, find a another DD with IDE interface, but
my question is : If I install amd64 version where is the difference between
i386 ? Well I forgot to say : I'm not programer, i'm just use : vi,
mozilla, tex...
Whit this very standard applications (and I think this application is not
re-write to use 64 bits cpu) are there some difference betwen 386 version
and amd64 ?
Thanks
Regards
