Dear all

I've purchased a new Dell laptop Vostro 1520, major configuration[1] , My question is should I go for FC 11 64bit version ? is there any significant benefit if I use 64bit version ?


[1]
Model :-         Dell Vostro 1520 P-series

Processor:- Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 P8700 1066Mhz FSB ( Intel VT enabled )

RAM :-           3GB DDR2 800Mhz

Graphics :-    Mobile Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator X4500M
Yes, you should go for 64-bit if your hardware supports it, because only a 64-bit kernel will use that hardware at its full capacities. Google is your friend.

ok  thank you for your kind reply

one more question is there in my mind .... that will I see any significant improvements in speed related issue if I go with 64bit version of OS ??

Some people reported overall speed increases because of the reasons mentioned earlier; however, do you have a reason not to go 64-bit?

one I heard that adobe flash has some problems with 64bit kernel ..... and other 32bit software creates some problem

( I'm not instrumenting with you ... I just need suggestion from the list .... so please don't misunderstand me )

Regards

My thinking is it's not safe to decide on what you've heard. Flash works like a charm on all my 64-bit systems; and what is that "other software" are you referring to? 64-bit Linux has also 32-bit libs if needed.
