> Are there any reasons not to stick to 32 bits currently? I don't know. I've just bought one today. Why ? I wanted a mini-PC. I've choose the Shuttle SN85G4, for athlon64 socket 754. I liked the box. There was an equivalent for P4. But the Athlon 64 has a good perf/price ratio (I've bought the 3000+). It's fun/new/a technical chalenge to run a 64bit proc. Debian handles it. Well, it's not good, objective technical reasons, but I wanted more speed than my Athlon Tbird 1Ghz, quieter PC. So why not ADM64, for general home usage. My 2 cents (and 1st post to the list), Eric.
