Hi, I have Dell powerEdge 1850, with dual processor 3.6 GHz, I bought SLE 9.0 and used the x86 CD when installtion starts i got a message " you are installing 32 bit software on 64 bit computer" to my knowledge the specs are for 32 bit I continued the installtion with no problem...but should i use the EMT64T( i tried it did not give this message but there alot of errors loading modules
I will install oracle on this server... SLES 9 supports 64-bit systems. You can install a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit X86-64 (eg. AMD64 or Intel EM64T), but you will not achieve any benefits of being 64-bits. Oracle also supports the 64-bit environment.
If you load a 32-bit Linux on a x86-64 system, all your systems running under that OS will be 32-bit. If you load a 64-bit OS, then you can run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. You especially want the database at 64-bits because of the significantly larger linear address space. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
