Hi everybody!

I am planing to buy a new desktop which will most probably be an amd64 system (e.g. www.deutschlandpc.de). I am listening to the list since quite a time to get an impression what the status of the 64bit Suse is for a "normal" user.

Questions: 1. Most systems I saw do have an ATI graphic driver, which are not supported in 64 bit, right? What does that mean? No X?

No 3D acceleration. 2D graphics works fine.

2. I have a AVM Fritz! DSL card, is this one supported in 9.2?

I hope ;-)

3. Would it be better for a desktop to install the 32 bit version, because hw support is more complete?

You can easily installa 32-bit package, just go into the installer to the package and install the 32-bit version. Since both are in the same box, I would say: Try the 64-bit version first ;-) Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
