interesting, thanks! how do i know if mine is 64-bit enabled? it's an eMachines M5414 (they apparently produced around 12 of them :). this is what /proc/cpu says: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 8 model name : Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 798.356 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow bogomips : 1585.15 it's actually 1.6 GHz throttled down. so if it's 64-bit enabled can i use the 64-bit version of linux? what make options should i use? thanks, alvin -- Alvin Thompson Navy: 42 Army: 13 -- [email protected] mailing list
