First, the 64-bit OS itself should be a bit faster than a 32-bit OS on the same platform. But, in my experience with 64-bit going back 16 years there are some applications that will run faster if built for 32-bit and some will run faster if built for 64-bit. There are some tradeoffs. The sizes of libraries and applications will be larger in 64-bit. You will need both 64-bit and 32-bit libraries if you want to run 32-bit apps. But, IMHO, there should be very few reasons not to run a 64-bit OS on a 64-bit processor. -- Jerry Feldman<gaf@xxxxxxx> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
