Arun, the Intel D945GCLF mobo contains the Intel Hyperthreaded Atom N270. However, that CPU does not has EM64T instructions, so it is not 64bits capable. The 64bits version of Atom is the 330. You can check both CPU's here.
Indeed the N270 (Atom) in the netbooks is 32bits only. However, the D945GCLF has the 230 processor which is 64bit. Original BIOS on the mobo and openSUSE 11.1 64bit do not like each other. However, others have reported that they were able to install openSUSE 11.0 (64) with original BIOS rev. I updated the BIOS. Still, I encountered some problems during the install proces which may be specific to my setup. After 4 botched attempts I was able to complete the install process. I will document the issues later on this thread. -- Arun Khan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
