16GB AMD Opteron-machine - AMD64 or PAE?

Hi,

For one of my machines (HP C-class Blade, 2 * AMD Opteron,
16GB RAM)
should I go for the i386 or the amd64 Version of FreeBSD
7.0?

As far as I've seen kernel and system isn't a problem with
the amd64
version, but how about ports?

To be specific here's what I'd like to install on this
machine:

o) mrtg
o) cacti
o) nfsen
o) named (caching DNS only)
o) ntpd
o) TSM-client (Client for IBM Backup-System running in Linux
emulation mode)

Does anybody have experience with any of these applications
under the
amd64-Version of FreeBSD? Caveats any?

Thanks in advance for any clue,
-ewald

amd64 version was created exactly for x86-64 systems so why
do you like to 
use another?

Search for the subject "RAM not recognized". I 
have  two  2 servers  
with  Quad Core Intel-Xeon running FreeBSD-7.0-AMD64 and I
had no 
problem at all. I installed several ports such as Samba,
LDAP,  Bind, 
Ntpd, Perl, Ruby, smbldap-tools.

Regards!!!
