We need more amd64 users to register at the nVidia website and add their
comments in the hardware forum (see http://forums.nvidia.com) to request a
driver for FreeBSD/amd64.  If you look at the BSD stats site on the CPU
stats page (http://www.bsdstats.org/cpus.php), you'll see that the Athlon 64
is currently the most popular processor listed by far.  We need to make
nVidia acutely aware of this situation and urge them to give a higher
priority to developing and releasing a driver for this platform.  It is
*long* overdue now.

Thank you for your support.
