Mine works better than any machine within the University of Salford. 64 bit Sempron 3000, FC5t1 - knocks the crap out of everything else anywhere that I know of. > What are right now, if any, the limits I encounter in using > Fedora or FOSS in general, if I buy a 64 bit CPU? None more that you find for 32 bit, with the exception that Flash doesn't work. > Also, if there are no traps, what 64 bit CPU do you recommend from the > power efficiency point of view? Lower wattage, possibility to run slower > when not doing heavy stuff....? Depends on what you're doing. My one is great as both a server, streaming server and desktop box - all at the same time!
