   12: supports CPUs that implement the 64-bit x86
   13: architecture. This covers all recent AMD and Intel models.
   14: 
   15: NetBSD/amd64 is a true 64bit operating system. Running
   16: 32-bit NetBSD/i386 binaries is supported as well; see
   17: [[!template id=man name="compat_netbsd32" section="8"]].

   27: <a class="ulink" href="http://developer.amd.com/" target="_top">AMD Developer Center</a>.
   28: 
   29: The port is fully functional. It has been tested on single-CPU and
   30: multiprocessor (SMP) Opteron configurations. Since the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.NetBSD.org/releases/formal-2.0/NetBSD-2.0.html" target="_top">release of NetBSD 2.0</a>,
