if you look at the disc 2 and 3, the size is 364K is it ok?. I'd
like to
install freebsd in a intel core 2 duo. Should I instal this ia64?
Why, no. ia64 is for the Itanium processor line which uses a
different architecture and is not compatible with the standard x86 32-
bit or 64-bit platforms. What you want instead is the amd64 platform,
which is known as "EM64T" for the Intel Xeon/P4/Core/Core2 chips:
