[mdlug] Time to jump to 64-bit?

[Ingles, Raymond]

My main system is Athlon X2 based, quite capable of running 64-bit
Linux. But I've been sticking with 32-bit versions for now. I only have
2GB RAM in there anyway.

 I understand that the 64-bit instruction set has extra registers and
such, which can provide a boost of a few percentage points in some
tasks. But I've heard that there's problems with Flash support, and I
use Wine and some emulator stuff to run older Windows games. Overall, I
don't know if the benefits of 64-bit would outweigh the drawbacks in my
case.

 Any opinions or suggestions?

 Sincerely,

 Ray Ingles                                       (313) 227-2317
