Hello list!
I just installed opensuse 10.1 X86_64 on my new Athlon 64 base system, 160GB sata II 3GB drive and I am not seeing what I perceive as a speed demon.
Another thing: (I may be totally wrong on this) I've run both 32 and 64bit versions of SUSE 10.1 on my notebook with 512MB memory, and the 32bit version definitely felt more responsive. I'm guessing in 64bit mode the CPU works with bigger chunks, thus uses more memory, but like I said, I may be completely wrong about this. Hans
