no, there are also some pentiums with 64bit. > "Intel 64 (Intel's x86-64 implementation) is not supported by Yonah", that is correct. > (and all else before?). as i said. there are some pentium models that also support 64bit. BUT! pentiums can't be compared to core 2 duos. core 2 duos are MUCH better/faster/energy-saving.... today, NEVER EVER buy a pentium or celeron. i would say, that today you also should not buy a core duo. core duos came months before core 2 duo, and also are not 64bit capable. core 2 duo is the best choice you have today. > So only OpenSUSE 10.2 32 Bit works on these notebooks, but that x86_64 > should only run on the Intel Core 2. Does it run OpenSUSE 10.2 X86_64? it is very simple: a notebook with a 32bit cpu (regardless if pentium, celeron or core duo) will run opensuse10.2 32bit. a notebook with a 64bit cpu (regardless if 64bit-pentium or core 2 duo) will run opensuse10.2 64bit. > Perhaps I should rather look at an AMD Athlon/Turon 64 X2 Mobile system > like the Inspiron 1501. Anyone got one running OpenSUSE 10.2 X86_64? i whould not recommend that. intel-based notebooks with the "centrino duo" logo are supported MUCH BETTER by opensuse10.2. with these machines nearly EVERY hardware on it (bluetooth, wlan, sd-card) will work out-off-the-box. and today core 2 duos are much faster than Turion 64 X2. both can run opensuse10.2 64bit. both cost about the same. but core 2 duos are faster, and centrino notebooks work better. -- einen schönen Tag noch, & bitte kein TOFU (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOFU) DI Rainer Klier Abteilung IT - Entwicklung ECOLOG Logistiksysteme GmbH Bauernstraße 11, A-4600 Wels Tel. ++43/7242/66200 Fax ++43/7242/66200-200 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ecolog.at Fb-Nummer 171431f Landesgericht Wels A member of TGW LOGISTICS GROUP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
