The 64-bit support on FreeBSD is very good, as long as you download the 
AMD64 ISOs and not the i386 ISOs. As for S-ATA, the support isn't really 
optimal as far as I know, especially when you're going to use an S-ATA 
RAID controller.

I've tried the 64-bit FreeBSD version on my AMD64 3000+, and it worked 
just fine. But I switched back to Bill's software since I wanted to make 
it a gaming machine, and not a real workstation.
