> I have two computers I'm considering going amd64 on: Another thing to keep in mind is that there are some OpenBSD packages and ports that only run on i386. In particular, any software that requires Linux emulation (such as the opera-flashplugin) will not run on amd64.
Doing a quick grep of the OpenBSD 4.2 ports tree, I've come up the following list of packages and ports that run on i386 but not amd64. /usr/ports/archivers/rar/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 sparc /usr/ports/audio/gogo/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/audio/rio500/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/audio/wmtune/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/chinese/rxvt-big5/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/chinese/xcin25/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/devel/ald/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/devel/jad/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/devel/jdk/1.3/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= arm i386 powerpc sparc /usr/ports/devel/jdk/1.3-linux/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/devel/jdk/1.4/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/devel/nasm/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/devel/prc-tools/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/devel/py-psyco/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/emulators/freebsd_lib/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/emulators/ines/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/emulators/mastergear/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/emulators/redhat/Makefile.inc:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/emulators/snes9x/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/emulators/vgb/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/emulators/vmware/3/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/emulators/wine/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/emulators/zsnes/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/emulators/fedora/Makefile.inc:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/games/adom/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/games/quake2/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/graphics/cqcam/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/graphics/win32-codecs/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/lang/clisp/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/lang/ezm3/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/lang/gcc/3.3/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= alpha i386 m68k sparc sparc64 powerpc vax /usr/ports/lang/gcc/3.4/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= alpha i386 m68k sparc sparc64 powerpc vax /usr/ports/lang/gcc/4.0/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= alpha i386 m68k sparc sparc64 powerpc vax /usr/ports/lang/gcc/4.1/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= alpha i386 m68k sparc sparc64 powerpc vax /usr/ports/lang/gprolog/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/lang/pm3/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/lang/smlnj/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/lang/tendra/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/lang/jamvm/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 powerpc arm /usr/ports/lang/scheme48/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/math/maple/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/math/maple-share/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/math/wingz/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/misc/dnetc/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 m68k sparc /usr/ports/misc/tpwireless/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/net/cvsup/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/net/dss/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/net/libst/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= alpha i386 sparc /usr/ports/net/openafs/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/net/pdnsd/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/net/ser/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 sparc /usr/ports/palm/isilo/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/palm/pose/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/print/acroread/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/security/l0phtcrack/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/sysutils/libretto-config/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/sysutils/perfd/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 macppc sparc zaurus /usr/ports/sysutils/tphdisk/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/sysutils/wdsetup/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/sysutils/wmapm/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= arm i386 macppc /usr/ports/sysutils/xbatt/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= arm i386 macppc sparc /usr/ports/sysutils/grub/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/www/mod_frontpage/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/www/opera/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/www/opera-flashplugin/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/x11/asapm/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= arm i386 macppc /usr/ports/x11/gatos-bin/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 /usr/ports/x11/xfce4/xfce4-battery/Makefile:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= arm i386 powerpc sparc /usr/ports/x11/gnustep/gnustep.port.mk:ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386
