In the "real world", is there a difference for an average/typical user. I'm contemplating the move from Windows to Linux. Coward that I am, I'm considering separate hardware as testbed. I spend most of my time in text editing and web surfing - doubt any advantage there. My other interest include Scilab, Scioslab, and gnuplot. I would run and display display results of *LARGE* fft's of _stored_ data. "Real time" minor importance.
Are there subtle advantages to wider data path and/or multiple cores? Are there advantages to 64 bit implementations of Linux? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
