16GB AMD Opteron-machine - AMD64 or PAE?

2008-03-14 Thread Ewald Jenisch
Hi, For one of my machines (HP C-class Blade, 2 * AMD Opteron, 16GB RAM) should I go for the i386 or the amd64 Version of FreeBSD 7.0? As far as I've seen kernel and system isn't a problem with the amd64 version, but how about ports? To be specific here's what I'd like to install on this
