Chris <utis...@googlemail.com> articulated:
Do you have to use FreeBSD/amd64 instead of FreeBSD/i386? I'm only
asking in case you recently installed, I know it's not an ideal
solution.
Well, no one is holding a gun to my head if that is what you mean.
However, to take advantage of all the memory I have in this system, as
well as the improved overall system performance, yes I do have to use
the 64bit version.
IMHO, 32bit systems are all ready becoming passe. I predict
that they will go the way of the dinosaur in 5 years or less.
I did have i386 installed on this system briefly because there were no
64bit nVidia drivers available. After switching to 64bit I have noticed
a real improvement in overall system performance.

Aloha,
Q:
Are the drivers available for 64bit nvidia cards (imbeded in mobo)? I
have not found a good how to on line for istalling on FreeBSD 8.*
I have an install that works fine on 64 bit amd until the video section
for desktop use.
Even the DVD Manolis produced doesnt make the video work. It just
flashaes on for a few seconds then dies off.
Any pointers to a how-to much appreciated.
