This is the dilemna ... the new computer is 64bit, and nvidia doesn't support 
FreeBSD/64bit due to a myriad of problems with FreeBSD :(  Apparently there is 
a group on the FreeBSD side trying to address this, but the nVidia side doesn't 
seem to hold much hope in it getting in in time for 7.x, so 6.x is a ways out 
yet :(

For those not aware, but interested, apparently this is 'the list' from their 
side (relatively old):

And this is the list on our side:
