I'll be using an Athlon dual-core 64-bit chip, 2 GB of dual-channel RAM, and at least until the recent conversations, I had been planning on installing the current "stable" 64-bit OpenSuSE distro.
Sounds like a good and reasonable plan. I have been running x86_64 since 9.1 (presently 10.2). I find the learning experience to be even better.
Thanks for everyone's comments. The case, CPU, memory, drives and all arrive tomorrow, and tonight I'm like a kid on Christmas eve. I'm gonna go to bed early, then get up and go to work early, so I can come home shortly after noon. I hope I can get some sleep. <g> I'm definitely going with the 64-bit system, at least to start with, if no more than to say that I've done it. The last computer I built on the same GeForce 6100 motherboard has XP-Pro installed, and since the MB came with a CD full of Windows drivers and utilities, it was pretty easy to get all the devices in a row. I hope that SuSE 64 will find all those onboard components to its liking. If so, then I think this is gonna be fun. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
