Agreed, writing as a long-time user that does not need latest and greatest all the time! My ASUS Eee PC Tablet -- purchased new in 2011 -- is 32-bit only. But, it has (after upgrades) an SSD and 2 GB of RAM, and ran most openSUSE releases since 11.4. A four year-old netbook that I use regularly doesn't feel that old or obsolete to me, especially when running Linux. What model are you talking about? I tried Google and found "ASUS EEE Pad Transformer TF101" which has NVidia Tegra 3 CPU, i.e. ARM. That wouldn't be relevant for the discussion about i586 architecture.

This one has an Intel Atom CPU, and came with Win 7 Starter 32-bit (which I never used :-) Model number under the battery: T101MT-EU27-BK

Hi And both of those cpu's are 64bit.... http://ark.intel.com/products/42503/Intel-Atom-Processor-N450-512K-Cache-1_6... http://ark.intel.com/products/55637/Intel-Atom-Processor-N570-1M-Cache-1_66-...
You also realize that a valid windows product code works with 32 and 64bit, so you could have installed the 64bit starter if so inclined.
Wow, you are absolutely right! The 64-bit capability was not well-advertised, and I did not know it was possible to use a 64-bit Win 7 when it came with 32-bit. My apologies. My other Eee PC from ~2009 is definitely 32-bit... https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Eee_PC_S101/specifications/ http://ark.intel.com/products/36331/Intel-Atom-Processor-N270-512K-Cache-1_6... ...and using IceWM for primarily xterm and ssh. It's the first time I tried the "Minimal X Window" install with openSUSE, and have been pleased with the results. -- Brian Y. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
