Oh, yes, one more thought-- your specific application, i.e. a large
database, is one where running in 64-bit mode is highly likely to
result in improved performance compared with running the OS in 32-bit
mode. If you've got a AMD64 or EM64T capable CPU, consider
installing the 64-bit version of FreeBSD instead of the normal 32-bit
x86 version.

Chuck,
I've heard this idea a few times in answer to my question. Is there a
64 bit Intel distro I'm missing? I saw someone suggesting I use the
AMD64 version, but when I attempt to boot that from the install disk I
get some debugging output and a message saying "BTX halted" - I
suspect that means I can't follow that suggestion...
Thanks again for all your help!
I figured it out - this is an older Xeon processor apparently - 32 bit.
Sorry for the cluelessness - I'm a bit behind the times when it comes to
hardware.
Regards,
Paul
