    Hello there,
    > Still wonder if I should try the NetBSD/amd64.
    The only reason to install a 32-bit OS on an otherwise 64-bit capable 
hardware would be, if the system-ram is 2GB or less.
    Otherwise, you'd waste resources and CPU-capabilities.
    The 64-bit mode comes with a couple registers unavaible in 32-bit mode.
    Most software compiles on 64-bit just as fine as on 32-bit.
    Just my 2-cents...
    Best regards,
    Volkmar

Actually the B590 comes with 2GB RAM, its the cheapo-edition. But my
demands are not high, most ressources go for Firefox with Javascript or
some movie player like xine. 

I hope just 2GB doesnt slow down the amd64 or get it stuck. Did you try
such combination, Volkmar?
