using more than 4GB of ram is why I want to use 64bit PC-BSD, We
play World of Warcraft a lot, and having 64bit Nvidia Drivers are a big deal.

on a side note, maybe even deserves a separate thread, does anyone know if
wine will compile on PCBSD-64 I know that most every Linux distro has
wine in 64bit
so it is possible, I just wondered why the FreeBSD port was marked i386 only.
