===== Platforms =====

[[http://www.FreeBSD.org|FreeBSD]] runs on many hardware platforms.

If you do not know what you have, you most likely have what %%FreeBSD%% calls **amd64**: a 64-bit processor, usually made by either Intel or AMD.

If you have an older Intel or AMD processor that only supports 32-bit mode, then you have what %%FreeBSD%% calls **i386**.

Both of those platforms are well-supported.  The degree of support of the other platforms is explained in detail on each page below.
