If 2Gb of RAM, Small difference... 32bit CPU (legacy mode) will be faster of course. > Will there be a noticeable difference if all > I do is browse, and use office apps? How about gimp (does it have to be an > extremely large project to be able to notice the difference)? Small difference. Again, 32bit CPU (legacy mode) triumphs. You do know that Intel core duos and AMD X2 can run in 32 or 64 bit mode depending upon your OS + BIOS (chipset) and CPU? -- regards, Andre | http://www.varon.ca _________________________________________________ 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
