Thanks, for any info you can provide!
SMP works on i386 and amd64 versions of FreeBSD


My desktop used an nVidia GeForce 6200 till it died and now a 8400GS card, all PCI Express x16 without problems.


nVidia drivers == better on 32-bit so I hear, so I would assume that's a fair reason to go with i386 instead of amd64 -> not that I bother with X that much lol.

Others here would know better about the drivers performance.
