      I installed Pfsense 2.0.1 on an AMD 64bit test system and really like the results. I want to be a little greener and use an Intel atom based motherboard I have laying around. I read where you can use the AMD 64 bit version on Intel dual core boards. So I tried it. Everything seems to work except I get errors when I use traffic shaping, which is very important to me. I can fix it by setting the WAN speed to something higher than the Internet queue but I'm wondering "what else is wrong that I don't know about". So I'm wondering if I should of used the 32 bit version or not tried to save and restore my configuration from the other system? Or is the traffic shaping option still have bugs?

        if you couldn't run the 64 bit version, it wouldn't boot. There is no config diff between 32 and 64 bit.
