It was added to FreeBSD as experimental in 5.1-RELEASE (June 2003) and standard in 5.2-RELEASE (January 2004). Jeff Atwood commented on desktop adoption of x86-64 in 2007 here: https://blog.codinghorror.com/is-it-time-for-64-bit-on-the-desktop/ , and it even mentions that graphics cards don't like 32-bit limits. If you bought an x86-32 system within the last 2-3 years, why is that anybody else's fault that your graphics-based computer was obsolete when you bought it? Please stop whining on the mailing list, you're just adding noise by setting up straw-man arguments. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arch To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
