If you intend to ever put more than approx. 3 GiB of memory into the machine you should go for x86_64.

Currently running 11.1 openSUSE. "uname -i" results in i386. I have 8GiB of memory "free -m" shows total memory of 3291 Does this mean all my memory is NOT being used? Yast hardware information says the CPU is "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33Ghz xosview shows 4 processors. When I upgrade to 11.2 should I use the X86_64? Thanks, Terry
