intel 64-bit version?

[William Gordon Rutherdale]

I'm using the amd64 version of FreeBSD for an HP Pavillion using an 
Intel Core 2 Quad processor (Q6600).

So far it's doing fine with the processor.  There are some driver 
problems, for instance no sound.  However, as I'm using this machine as 
a compute server, I'm ignoring those limitations.  I ran some parallel 
computation problem on it and got good performance out of it.
