Can I install my existing 32 bit opensuse dvd on my new Sempron 3000+? Looking through the archive, it seems that I should download the x86-64 version and use that instead.
Confused. Any help most appreciated. Steve. The boxed set contains both versions. The free download OpenSUSE versions are either 32 or 64 bit. I've downloaded both, because I have both 32 & 64 bit computers here.
OK. So which do I choose for the sempron? 32 or 64?
If it's a 64 bit CPU, it's your choice. The 32 bit version will run fine, though you won't get any benefit of the 64 bit CPU. If you go with the 64 bit version, you may need to install a 32 bit browser, as the pluggins are currently 32 bit. I installed the 64 bit version on my AMD 64 bit CPU and can now take advantage of the 64 bit capabilities in performance apps such as vi and solitaire. ;-)
