<sect1 id="proc">
<title>Supported Processors and Motherboards</title>
<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>
