I am thinking of upgrading my P4 HT 3.2 to 64 Bit Processors.
I am seriously thinking about a dual core AMD's Athlon 64 X2 processors.
Can anyone tell me if CURRENT open suse 64 bit version will be able to
address the dual Processor.
This is NOT an HT issue. Its processor origami  like Intel core 2
processors.
Many thanks
Also with the Linux O/S - despite processor limitations work that
markedly better with hugs amounts of RAM.
For example I have 2 GIG of RAM currently and am thinking of changing it
to 4 GIG. I understand that the kernel can use more file cacheing, but
that is what I do not want to know. With the superior way the Linux
Kernel  manages Memory, if we remove the increased file caching ability
will the Kernel  be able to utilise the extra memory  registers for
processing.
I know the immediate answer to the above under Windows, but M$ has
severe limitations in the amount of memory it can use for direct
processing - Its a disaster how than can continue to realise new
software where the O/S has to have memory management and severe
limitation is what amount of memory the processor can directly address -
Its still out of the ark.
