And that was 1995 or 1996. One would think we would be further down
the 64 bit path by this point.

Jim,
Same issues here with x64 as well. What a shame. I'll be content once
x64 Linux is a little more mainstream (and less buggy).

yes, really. not that anyone cares to discuss winders in this group;
however, symantec antivirus corporate edition as well as winder's own
WSUS puke hard with 64 bit Windows 2003 Server.
>from a server point of view, that's a show stopper and very specific.
WinXP64 is not a server OS. i'll defer judgement on 64 bit desktops
to others since the majority of my customers have 32 bit hardware and
don't care.
all the best for a happy and safe move to NY just the same, though.

Really? I have only seen that basically anything that runs as a

32 bit with the exception of antivirus. In the course of 24 months
we
have never had a conflict where an application acted badly other
then trying to install again a 32 bit antivirus on WinXP64.
A little more qualification would be nice rather then
generalizations,
especially if you have some known bad applications.
Personally I have found very little that would force me to 64 bit
Windows though the workstation that I have (along with the 6GB of
system memory) would drive me to. It is not difficult to use the
/PAE
switch or several others to push the memory limits around
(especially if you have Xeon CPUs).
This box isn't linux yet cause there is too much that I need to
convert to a vmware image before I move it over...

Winders has 64 bit versions. I don't use them because too many

You bring up an interesting point. My neighbor just purchased a
new
laptop
that has a 64 bit processor. Can XPee Home even take
advantage of a 64 bit
processor?
She's already fed up with the anti-virus she is using and has
already asked about Linux (after hearing me yap about it for
years now). Hopefully she'll pull the trigger and I can intall
Ubuntu as a social expirement. I'd really like to see how well a
seriously non-techincal person manages with Ubuntu.

What would you be doing with the system, for a laptop, I
see that HP
now has a Turion 64Bit laptop, interesting if you could
take advantage
of the processor.
If you are using much CPU to Memory transfer intensive
applications,
then AMD has the edge, otherwise I don't think that it
matters as much.
What about the other stuff, that says more in many cases.
What disks are available, SATA, or PATA, or SCSI?
What Video subsystem suits your needs best?
How much RAM can you get for the system in question?
As usual, there's a lot more to the "best" answer,
generally I think
that if you get a top tier system now it's likely enough for
95% or more of folks, unless you're just that kind of geek who
needs to spec
out every last detail.
Then there's cost.....

If you were going to build a linux desktop or laptop what
processor
would
you pick? Intel, AMD, or something else?
