OS Architechture
When installing FreeBSD, and looking for the most reliable - stable setup, on an Intel machine equipped with an Intel board and quad core Xenon, (to be used an an internet server), should I install the 64 bit version or 32 bit version? Most, if not all the internet daemons will have been written in 32 bit. Will they run at all?

The intent would be to have a complete production server with POP3 Daemon, SMTP Daemon, Apache (standalone), FTP Daemon, Spamassasin Daemon, MySQL databases, etc etc., as well as housing several hundred domains and user's data.

Sorry, forgot to comment about bandwidth, about 1/5 mb/s (current).

Thanks for your help!
enjoy. it is best to use system's package manager as it offers helping hand with security updates.
Note: 32 bit daemon's can have problems with log files > 4GB.
