Thanks for the reply. :-)
Yes, definitely 64-bit.

It looks like -STABLE are daily development/ test builds (?):
ftp://ftp.allbsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-snapshots/amd64-amd64/
I'm looking for stability. I'll try the 9.0-RELEASE:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/

Good.

VirtualBox does seem to be popular. It played with it on Debian Testing
(Wheezy), but I believe the shared folder feature filled my root
partition and I couldn't locate or remove the blockage.

Okay.

Intel:

I'm not sure what the "B3" suffix means, but it's on the box.
A few other questions for the list, please:
1. Does FreeBSD support encrypted disk partitions (slices)?
2. Does the X server in FreeBSD (?) support Intel HD 2000 integrated
graphics?
