Well... the purpose is the cost and power usage. However an extra 512MB or 1.5GB is not a showstopper. What would really be a showstopper was to buy extra RAM to get the same performance just to use 64bits architecture. I also found contradicting information on 64bits vs 32 bits. Bottom line, if I can get a performance boost of 10-20% just for running 64bits, I'll go for it. Does anyone has any Knowledge/experience on switching from 32bits to 64bits ?
I run 2 machines on 64 and the rest on 32. No real issues. I want to do a 32bit install on one of the 64 bit machines just to see if my mencoder fps rates change any.
It would also be nice to take advantage of the Execute Disable Bit without using PAE Kernel.
I've had to remove the PAE kernel on several systems because of instability on 11.0. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
