Hi Frank
I have a new Core 2 Duo system that I have run both 32 and 64 bit F7 on.
I have noticed since upgrading to 64 bit that everything seems to run
just a little bit faster. It is not a big increase, just the whole
system seems to be a little faster.
This is odd, given that everything I have read says that there will be
no real difference for a desktop user. Perhaps I am imagining it?
Perhaps not.
Other than that, I have had a few issues where things like Eclipse PDT
(PHP dev plugin for Eclipse) required a 32 bit JVM. I just installed
the second (32 bit) JVM and I was ok.
So, no real problems with 64 bit, and perhaps some benefit.
Just my experience of course, so no warranty implied etc, etc ...
Regards,
Langdon

either an Intel Core 2 Duo or a Quad Core.
As I have never used 64-bit Fedora (or 64-bit anything) before, could someone
give me a run-down on the advantages and otherwise?
Why would I want to run 64-bit Fedora?
Why would I want to stick with "regular" Fedora instead?
Thanks for any insights.
