I understood the OP's question to be about the hardware that he will buy to build his desktop from. In regard to software, imho for a desktop it does not matter. I had good experiences with both Lin 32bit and Lin 64bit on 64bit hardware. However my experience with win 64bit software will make me recommend win32bit software for 64bit hardware. But: I never had the privilege to test win 64bit server software. >> How silent will your computer need to be and what will you be able to >> spend for silence? > > That is very important, agreed. Imho, for a desktop nowadays, it comes very close to be the most important consideration since it is the machine's noisiness that either supports or distracts my mental attention. kind regards Eberhard > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
