Dear Eric,
thanks for the fast reply. I already thought that currently there
would not be any real gain by setting up the 64bit version, maybe a little
bit when transcoding movies or trying the new CAELinux 2010 (my old comp was
too low spec).
I mainly went for it because i never had a 64bit system on any of
my computers so far ;-) and it seemed like a good opportunity to try...
I will still try a little but if things turn bad i will as you suggest install
the 32bit version as this seems to be the most reasonable thing to do at the
moment...
Nik
