hello, is there a way to install nvidia drivers on 64 version of pcbsd? Do you think that using blender i will notice lower performances using 32 bit version of pcbsd?
please let me know what you think...
thank

It would depend on blenders design and implementation (I can't believe I just asked how a blender is implemented >_>) whether or not there's a performance loss or gain by using a 32-bit system.

Slightly off-topic, reply :

This world is not yet ready for 64bit, so skip your self a frustration and install a 32-bit version of OS. I thoroughly test XP-64-bit and apart from most applications running fine, the drivers are VERY rare to find for most hardware.

Are looking to have a workstation with large amounts of RAM (Over 3GB)? Because that's the only reason to install a x64 version of any OS right now. Up to 3GB of RAM you can use any 32bit OS successfully.
