Chad,
So I can kick it down to 32bit. Great to know and I may have to do
that
myself. I will probably give the build a whirl both ways and
compare some
benchmarks. Maybe even all 3 ways as I have some R&D time.
Any settings I should know about to kick the install down to 32bit? I
suppose 4.11 is native 32bit or do I have to kick that down too on
a 64bit
system?
Just use the appropriate install media. The i386 install is
automatically a 32bit i386 architecture install (and the machine will
run as is) and the amd64 is an AMD64 and EMT64 or whatever the intel
version is called install and will install a 64bit version.
The 64 bit processors will run in 32bit mode and installing the 32bit
OS will do it for you automatically.
Chad
Cheers,

First, greetings to the group and nice to meet everyone's
acquaintance.
We are getting ready to make a big leap to Dual 64bit Xeon machines
(SuperMicro) and FreeBSD 5.4. We would really have like to stick
with 4.11
but from what I am gathering it certainly doesn't support the 64bit
processors.
Jut FYI. You should be able to run 4.11 in i386 (32 bit mode) (or
5.4 in the same mode) if you want. I run dual 64bit opterons
running i386 32bit version of 5.3... If you don't need the 64bit
mode and there are 32bit things that you do require, you may want to
consider it for the time being.
