User-agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.7-1.1.fc4 (X11/20050929)

I have just picked up my new desktop: AMD FX55 processor (the fat gamingproc, 64 bit, 2.6GHZ) with 2GB ram.

I've installed FC4 (32 bit) without incident, and it runs GREAT! (under20 minutes to install) I then installed thunderbird - (yum).

It runs thunderbird ok, but when downloading, I got only about 1 e-mailper 1.5 seconds (3 minutes to download about 120 e-mails (these e-mailswere mostly TEXT)

Is this a 64 bit/ 32 bit problem?Would it help if I install FC4 64 bit? amd will that limit me on yumdownloads too much? I don't know 64 bit stuff much....
