Dear All, Just for info.
Would like to know which FC3 kernel can we load on the AMD Athlon 64 2800+. Is it FC3-x86_64 ot the FC3-i386 kernel. Anyone who is using the above mentioned processor with LINUX ?.
BTW is Athlon 64 x86_64 or i386 compatible.

You'll need to use the x86-64 kernel.

No, I don't think so. But I think your processor will be able to run the i386 kernel.

You'll need to use the x86-64 kernel.
Or if you have the time and inclination you can try installing Gentoo from Stage 1

ah

You can install FC3 64-bit OR i386. The reason is that 64 bits processors will also natively manage 32-bit operations.
Besides at the moment all the packages have not be moved onto the 64-bit edition of FC3.
BTW is Athlon 64 x86_64 or i386 compatible.

#rpmbuild --rebuild file.src.rpm #rpm -ivh /usr/src/fedora/RPMS/i386/file.i386.rpm
or equivalent.

Hi,
FC3- i386 & the FC3-x86_64 both work on AMD-64(its backward compatible). However the i386 works on emulated mode... where as the 64 bit version runs on native mode.
*32-bit OS on 64-bit processor:*
*adv.- *Can run all the 32-bit applications successfully
*dis-adv*.- Slightly slower performance(might be noticeable- depends on your RAM and other system config.)
*64-bit OS and 64-bit processor: * *adv.-* Excellent performance.
*dis-adv-* certain applications do not have 64-bit versions. However you can run 32-bit apps. on 64-bit OS using some emulation libraries However these libraries are not available for all apps.Eg. Flash plugin for Firefox, WMV(W32 Codecs etc.)
I would recommend using UBUNTU-64 bit edition (5.04).(good,fast and Debian based..)
Btw...which MOBO are you using for AMD 2800+?

I plan to upgrade my current system currently Cel 1.2 ghz. Planning for the AMD/Asus combo. Some one said that it is equally priced but better than the P4-2.4/Intel GVSR combo. So I am thinking of it. But I wanted to be doubly sure that whatever I load into it runs for sure.

If you plan to go for AMD then avoid ASUS mobos. Coz Asus boards have poor support for linux. Google it, u`ll know. Still if are sure you want to buy ASUS, then go for the ones with NVIDIA chipsets.The ASUS mobos with SiS chipsets suck!

Uh? My experience speaks the other way round. In particular, Nvidia's closed drivers have issues often enough. Asus is a rather good company for motherboards (avoid the bottom end of the market, because that is where you get the crappiest components).
