ia64 is for Intel Itanium - NOT Core 2 Duo. The core 2 duo extends it's 64
bit instructions from the Intel EMT64 extensions. You can read up on this

To summarize though - AMD64 is the platform you're looking

Well, according to me FreeBSD works very well on desktops (except for CUDA),
but I agree that its usage is extremely limited for laptops and netbooks. If
I can't use ACPI or wireless on my laptop/netbook, I don't really see the

Hi,
I use lenovo thinkpad T400s with freebsd 8.1 amd64 and openbsd 4.8
i386 (snapshot) as dual boot.
I'm extremely satisfied with both hardware and the OS's. The laptop is
light, doesn't heat up as much as the others I've tried and is very
performant.
Wireless works very well with both OS's.
