You should try the 64 bit Fedora release. As far as I know the 32 bit release of Fedora runs just fine so you have a fall back. I have begun shopping for the next turn of the Opteron motherboards for my next box. It is clear to me that Operton based systems are the way to go right now. I have access to a pile (cluster) of them at work running Fedora so I can see what they can do. Notebooks are sort of special case systems (pun intended) you might have to work through some driver/ display issues but all in all you will love the new generation of AMD based boxes. -- T o m M i t c h e l l Found me a new place to hang my hat :-)
