Hello, all! Sorry for the inconvenience - I am newbie... I buy NVidia ION nettop with Intel Atom 330 processor without OS... ... Can I install FreeBSD on such nettop ? What is platform I must to use:

x86 ? But as I know Atom 64bit processor ... ia_64 ? But ias I understand, its only for Intel Itanuim processor...

I personally would start with the i386 distribution just ot see whether FreeBSD supports enough of the hardware to come up. You can download the USB-stick image (8.0-RC1-i386-memstick.img) for it, which will make it easy to do a quick check.

To take advantage of the 64-bit capabilities you have to install the amd64 distribution, so use 8.0-RC1-amd64-memstick.img.
