Nice that you mention this. I'm getting the upgrade itch to switch to a a Sempron 64-bit for the wider registers and Cool N' Quiet, but I guess by this criterion my Celeron D is "better." My guess is - AMD64 is better on servers that have little chance of running 32-bit binaries? _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
