i386 on amd64

Hello,

Recently I installed FreeBSD 8.0 on my AMD 64 bits and everything seemed OK. Now I realize that I used the i386 CD instead of the amd64 version. Is this possible? Can I run this system without any problems?
 
Yes, it will run fine. amd64 systems can run i386 code without problems. amd64 might be a little faster, and will support more than 4G of RAM, i386 will only show about 3.5G max even if you have more.
 
OK Thanks

I noticed that at the beginning.
