Hi guys. Im a civil engineer by day and use OpenBSD at night, but Im trying to do high-end CAD on my home PC and OpenBSD doesnt support 64-bit Intel chips. Don't believe me? It says very clearly at the OpenBSD/amd64 page: All versions of the AMD Athlon 64 processors and their clones are supported. But does not mention or list any Intel chips. Not one. Wtf? I can do CAD on my i7-980X under Windows 7 SP 1, but Id rather use something secure and responsibly coded like OpenBSD. Except that I can't. Why for the life of this platform are we not on the only future direction for the platform? And I mean that literally. Neither AMD nor Intel sells 32-bit chips anymore. If OpenBSD remains stuck at 32 bits, people will stop using and developing for it. Who makes the decision to keep OpenBSD off of 64-bit Intel? And why the hell are they doing so? -jash
