Upgrading from 32bit to 64bit

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – A few questions... I installed the i686 version because I got "error 15" "file not found" when booting the 64 version. My computer is practically brand new and uses a AMD A-6 chip which uses AMD64 technology. I'm afraid that with i686 I won't be taking full advantage of my system. My main concern with a 32bit installation is that when I program in nasm (assembly language) then I won't be able to take advantage of the 64 architechture. Am I justified in feeling that way? If indeed it will have asm programming ramifications then how can I go about installing fendora (HowTos)

Experimental R600 in Fedora 12 3 years 24 weeks ago

Hi.

I've recently installed the 32bit version of Fedora 12 on my Toshiba notebook, running a ATI HD 3650 Mobility graphics card. Upon installing mesa-dri-drivers-experimental.i686, "Desktop effects" still complains about "Accelerated 3D graphics not available".

There seems to be a problem with the module r600_dri.so, Xorg.0.log states

Hi,

I recently switched my system to 64bit openSuSE11.2. Works so far. One problem is that one commercial product (german Duden corrector for OpenOffice) does not work with the 64bit version of OpenOffice but only with 32bit.

Time to add some stock-trades in turbo-tax and wondering which would be the best to throw @ waldorfwine,virtualbox or vmware. !# has been stable from install to performance. Using 32bit as I have yet to see any advantage in 64bit in any OS.

Hello,

I had quite a surprise opening fine the BT5R3-GNOME-32-VM.zip other a 64bit 12.04 Ubuntu and hitting a wall other my 32bit 12.04 Ubuntu laptop. It displays "End of central directory signature not found" with unzip under linux, that it's only a part of a multipart archive other windows vista and 7 32bit, winrar and windows's extractor. I checked the archive against it's md5 bc

The 64bit fiasko 2 years 42 weeks ago

I remember the switch from 16 bit to 32bit ... Back then, i owned an amiga 2000 system and unfortunately, commodore slept while intel released the 80386 processor and microsoft started using the 32bit technology in some drivers for windows 3.1...

Hi, I discovered that I installed the 32bit version on my amd64turion laptop. I downloaded the 64bit stable version now and will do a reinstall. What is the main difference? Will it perform differently/better? One thing I noticed is that my laptop gets very hot in a short time. Also, it needs a lot of power and the battery doesn't last long!

Assembly reveals only one small portion of what's "really" going on.

After using Ubuntu 12.10 for awhile on a separate computer, I decided to dual boot on my windows machine. The only bad thing is that I do not know which version of Ubuntu 12.10 to use 32bit or 64bit.
