It may just be my imagination, but x86-64 seems to be faster on my dual core 3.2GHz with 1 G memory. It seems to me that the place I notice it most is in Yast2 when it's refreshing the install repo's. It seems to process the information faster. Everything else seems to go just a bit faster, but Yast2 is where I notice it most. As I said, it may just be my imagination. However, I wouldn't hesitate to load it with just one Gig memory. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
