I agree with everyone else, but I should mention one thing they didn't: this only applies if it's not an Itanium (which is rare anyway). If it's an AMD or Intel P4 or better series with the x86-64 instruction set, you're fine.
Personally, I'll be dropping SlamD64 on my laptop (yes, for those watching, I still haven't got off my butt and done it yet!) which is a dual 32/64 bit Slackware (which I've run for well over a decade). BTW, as of this moment I intend to be at the West Valley Installfest this weekend. (Nice to have one here in the West for a change: not so much gas!) I say this moment because, with my job, sometimes my schedule can change day to day. :( Mike On Wed, 14 May 2008 16:00:16 -0700 (PDT), "eculbert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > A friend has an amd 64 an 3000 chip cpu on an msi mb. > > Will a 32 bit live cd boot okay if everything is 'ok' > with the system? > > She upgraded to sp3 on XP ...
