it seems that almost everybody I've talked to has advised me not to go with the 64 bit version of OpenSuse because there really is no speed advantage (if that's not good advice I'd like to hear otherwise). So then, if there is no speed advantage, what's the point in even having a 64 bit processor right now?
There is speed advantage for certain applications. Another difference for x86-64 is better handling of memory and data over 4 GB, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
