Translators should be warned that this is somewhat of a moving target, and so might want to consider holding off working on this document.

<para>&os;/&arch; has supported the &arch.print;
|
|
(<quote>Hammer</quote>) architecture since mid-2003. It made its
|
|
first debut as an experimental release based on &os;
|
|
5.1-RELEASE.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>As of this writing, this port supports the Athlon64
|
|
(<quote>Clawhammer</quote>) and Opteron
|
|
(<quote>Sledgehammer</quote>) machines. The largest tested
|
|
memory configuration to date is 8GB. There is no support for SMP
|
|
machines at present.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In many respects, &os;/&arch; is similar to &os;/i386, in
|
|
terms of drivers supported. There may be some issues with 64-bit
|
|
cleanliness in some (particularly older) drivers. Generally,
|
|
drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit platforms
|
|
should work.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>&os;/&arch; is still very much a work in progress. Much work
|
|
is being done in the &os; Perforce repository and then merged to
|
|
the &os; CVS repository as it stabilizes.</para>
