Hi, I'm new in FreeBSD, I'm used to GNU/Linux from many years but I'm trying to migrate to FreeBSD. My hardware is AMD64 / 1GB RAM / envy24ht network car / nVidia 7300GS GC / USB Scanner / HP 660 Printer
So nothing to worry about except the AMD64. I read that FreeBSD i386 installation is faster on AMD64 than amd64. I installed amd64 and was quite disappointed by the performance issue, particularly because the nv driver is not good, and I got a lot of slowdown when some operations are made within X server. So before reinstalling everything, I'd like to know : Is it a reasonable choice (in terme of performance, reliability, and compatibility terms) to install i386 over amd64 arch? Will I be able to install nvidia drivers and every i386 tools? (I got "only working under i386" several times when installing port) Are there other issues I should be aware of using such an installation? thanks by advance for any help Sébastien _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
