ia64 is for Intel Itanium - NOT Core 2 Duo. The core 2 duo extends it's 64
bit instructions from the Intel EMT64 extensions. You can read up on this
topic further at Wikipedia if you'd like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMT64#Intel_64
To summarize though - AMD64 is the platform you're looking for.

Hi guys,
normally I am just listening to what is communicated related to the
FreeBSD OS.
But here I feel that I can contribute something for "Which OS for notebook".

Wireless works very well with both OS's. suspend/resume works most of

Hi,
I use lenovo thinkpad T400s with freebsd 8.1 amd64 and openbsd 4.8
i386 (snapshot) as dual boot.
I'm extremely satisfied with both hardware and the OS's. The laptop is
light, doesn't heat up as much as the others I've tried and is very
performant.
Wireless works very well with both OS's. suspen
