it seems that almost everybody I've talked to has advised me not to go with the 64 bit version of OpenSuse because there really is no speed advantage (if that's not good advice I'd like to hear otherwise). So then, if there is no speed advantage, what's the point in even having a 64 bit processor right now?
If you only have 2 gig of memory, 32bit will be faster.
It may just be my imagination, but x86-64 seems to be faster on my dual core 3.2GHz with 1 G memory. It seems to me that the place I notice it most is in Yast2 when it's refreshing the install repo's. It seems to process the information faster. Everything else seems to go just a bit faster, but Yast2 is where I notice it most. As I said, it may just be my imagination. However, I wouldn't hesitate to load it with just one Gig memory. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
