That all sounds like a graphics driver problem. I and many others here have KDE on 64 bit dual core and sing../lib64/firefox/firefox.shle core machines and neither glitch 1 or 2. I can't comment on audacity. > Those are the most annoying things so far. > > I should repeat that I run another AMD64x2 and my home machine is AMD64 > as well (pre-dual core), and apart from the loss of flash in browsers > is no problem.

It works in firefox as well but I don't know what the mechanism used there is.
