I hate to agree with Karl (well, not for his reason) but I have an Athlon64 machine with 64-bit and 32-bit Fedora-7 on it. Admittedly I don't use this machine much, and certainly not for anything that could be called number-crunching, but I haven't noticed any real difference between the two systems. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
