Um ... they said xeon. Doesn't that mean ia64? No, it does not. ia64 is for Intel's Itanium series CPU's. Completely different architecture. amd64 is for those CPU's implementing the AMD64 architecture. This is also known as x86-64. Intel used to call their implementation EMT64, but I think they have changed that since. AFAIK all of Intel's recent x86 CPUs support amd64. (This includes all Core2Duo based CPUs as well as the Xeon versions thereof.) -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Thanks a lot again. There are running some application has been built using PHP in this web box. Also need a small mail system and mysql for a game server that running on a win2003 machine.

With 4G of memory i386 really isn't a choice. Unless you feel adventurous and want to try PAE. I'd stick with amd64. All the webserver stuff works fine there and it allows you to extend the memory later on if the need arises. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
