In this case, it's the reverse. Intel's EM64T extensions are compatible
with AMD's X86-64.
Also don't forget that SSE5 instruction set for x86 was entirely
designed by AMD.
Since a Xeon Quad Core is a 64bit processor, would it work ok with
FreeBSD? Or would the adm64 release be better for that chip?
Thanks,

Hello Chris,
I had a server with an Intel Xeon Quad Core CPU that was running FBSD 7.0

I would recommend using amd64 FreeBSD port in this case. Some
applications are significantly faster in 64 bit mode than in 32 bit mode.
Personally,

don't be suggested by amd in port name. it's for AMD64-compatible
processor, for example your xeon

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I am currently running FreeBSD 7.0 the regular
i386 release. I would prefer to keep it that way if migration to the 64bit
release would mean rebuilding from scratch (there is probably an easier way
to convert an i386 release to a amd64 release). Another poster

It will depend on your workload. If your machines were strapped fo
address space on i386, switching to amd64 (with
