Hey All
I think that for an update to 11.4 I want to do a clean install. Haven't done one in years. So the question becomes do I want to go with the 32 bit version, which I've always run, or the 64 bit. I have an AMD Phenom 9550 Quad-Core Processor running at 2.2Ghz.
I need to be able to connect to my wireless network. The only unusual hardware is my 30" display, which works fine under 11.3.
What considerations should I be thinking of?
Is there any benefit either way?
Thanks
IMHO this is an easy decision - 64 bit. There isn't anything I can think of offhand that falls into the "available in 32-bit but not 64-bit" anymore, unless possibly the dumb lateness of Flash on 64-bit, but even that's been more-or-less acceptably resolved, too. On the other hand, only a 64-bit OS can take advantage of all the capabilities of your cpu (which may or may not have advantages for you personally, depending on what you run on the machine). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
