    Hi all

    My news computer just arrive ;-) The cpu is a AMD 64 FX 55.

    I've try to install FreeBSD 53-amd64 but the hard drive is SATA and the
    boot hang when he detect the drive.

    The install work with FreeBSD 53-i386.

    I think i can, with many effort, find a another DD with IDE interface, but
    my question is : If I install amd64 version where is the difference between
    i386 ? Well I forgot to say : I'm not programer, i'm just use : vi,
    mozilla, tex...
    Whit this very standard applications (and I think this application is not
    re-write to use 64 bits cpu) are there some difference betwen 386 version
    and amd64 ?

    Thanks

    Regards
