 |
|
Buying an Asus mobo with a 2.0GHz Opteron and 1GB of ECC-DDR 333 Ram. Will I see performance gains on emerge times in regular 32-bit Gentoo? I don't want to jump right into 64-bit... plan on dual-booting 32 & 64-bit installs of Gentoo for right now. Just curious about the 32-bit side of things.
Thanks,
Bart |

well if you plan on running everything in 32 bit mode, then your Opteron (or Athlon64) should pretty much act like an AthlonXP with the same clock speed and cache. I bought an Athlon64 3200+ a few weeks back but must hold off from using it as i can't get my Gentoo install to recognise the same PCI ltmodem. So i have to wait and fall back on my old AthlonXP 1800+  ...
