I also heard 64-bit makes things more complex workarounds and missing stuff like no 64-bit Flash and stuff.

I've been running 64-bit since December 2006 (Fedora 6, 9 and currently 12), and have had only a few problems. As far as browser plugins: Many, but not all, have 64-bit versions now. The others can be wrapped and work pretty well concurrently with the 64- bit ones. Adobe does have a 64-bit Flash plugin. It is a Beta, but is now just as stable as the non-beta "final" 32-bit one. Or, perhaps, I should say just as unstable. ;-) Flash has never been without problems regardless of which OS it is running under. You can download it directly from Adobe Labs: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html Stef

I might try that whenever I do a full clean install, but I don't use that much RAM thought yet (most was 3 GB of RAM, but now 2.5 GB since 512 MB went bad). Even my old XP Pro. SP3 still uses 2 GB of RAM which will eventually be my Linux box when I upgrade hardwares. ;) I assume I can still run 32-bit programs on 64-bit Linux like in 64-bit Windows. -- "Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment.

When I up'ed it to 4, the system seemed "smoother". There weren't pauses when windows were refreshed with new content, windows opened and closed quicker, apps loaded and opened faster, etc. > I assume I can still run 32-bit programs on 64-bit Linux like in 64-bit > Windows. Yes. As long as the appropriate 32-bit dependencies are installed. Stef |
