Hello everybody, I have a question about FreeBSD 7. I have a new laptop (HP Pavillion 6600 series) whose principal function will be programming (Ruby on rails) and a little multimedia and CD,DVD toasting stuff. I have seen there is a FreeBSD/amd64 Project which covers the FreeBSD port to AMD's AMD64 and Intel 64 architecture [1]. The laptop has an Intel Core Duo T8100, 64 bits, processor and 3 GB of memory. Should I install this version or should I switch to the 386 version ? I am looking for good stability compiling with Ruby and enough support of the main devices: Intel Pro 3945 wireless card (through wpi I have read), nvidia driver, etc. These last tips are done with basic funcionality. Is there something that it I have to bear in mind? I have searched the list before posting but I have not found anything definitive Thanks very much in advance. Regards Jesus.
