it should work just fine, and more than likely it will set up the SMP for you 
during install.  as far as the k386 or amd64 debate, a friend of mine has an 
amd64 compatible AMD processor, but is running it with i386 install of 
freebsd.  the computer is still screamingly fast.  if you have 4GB of ram or 
more, i believe the amd64 option might look a bit more attractive.

Pentium D 940 dual core. i386 or amd64 ?

2007-08-02 Thread Mario Lobo
Hi guys;

I just bought one and I was wondering if it works HTT/SMP on my FreeBSD 
6.2-STABLE desktop.

Would anyone recommend changing my currently installed i386 (days of waiting 
for xorg 7.2 and ports update) arch to amd64?

if so, is it possible to make this change of arch on the machine itself or 
will I have to reinstall?

Thanks in advance,
