Is 64bit worth it? by Carciofus 2005-03-16 07:48:33
/*I want to get a laptop to replace my PowerBook G3 400.
So, are the amd64 processors worth their cost?
I plan to use it with a linux distro, most probably Debian.*/

#ifdef WINDOWS_USER
#include <windows_bashing.h>
#endif
//:-)

/*
So...
Any experience with linux on amd64? And which distros run well / run poorly? I don't want to start YADW (Yet Another Distro War),I'm only seeking for advice.
