Gently push people towards the amd64 platform, especially for machines with >4GiB RAM. Drop one dead link, and one link to a very outdated page.

<h3><a name="intro">Introduction</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>This page contains information about the FreeBSD/i386 platform.
|
|
FreeBSD/i386 should support any CPU compatible with the Intel™
|
|
80486 or better in 32-bit mode, although almost every recent AMD™
|
|
and Intel™ CPU will also be capable of running in 64-bit mode
|
|
using the <a href="&base;/platforms/amd64.html">FreeBSD/amd64</a>
|
|
port.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD/i386 supports up to 4GiB of RAM by default. Machines
|
|
with more RAM will either need to run
|
|
<a href="&base;/platforms/amd64.html">FreeBSD/amd64</a> or run with
|
|
<a href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/hardware.html#memory-i386-over-4gb">
|
|
Physical Address Extension (PAE)</a> enabled in order to make use of
|
|
any memory above the 4GiB boundary.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Status</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD/i386 runs in 32-bit multiuser mode, in both
|
|
Uniprocessor and Multiprocessor mode.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The i386 platform is a <a
|
|
href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/archs.html">Tier
|
|
1</a> FreeBSD platform.</p>
