Reinstall, definitely, because libraries change, and programs. But the install DVD should tell you if you don't have a 64 bit cpu. Actually, the 32 bits should inform you if you have a 64 kernel to make sure you want to install 32 bit software (it has some advantages). But I don't know if it does.
I don't think your system would be that noticeable slow only for using the 32 bit version instead of 64. The difference is subtle, except for certain heavy load apps.

I've reinstalled 10.3 using 64 bit. So far it's running A LOT better! Woo-hoo! Thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
