You could install i386 on it, or x86_64. Either would work. If you want native 64 bit execution, though, you'd go with the x86_64. I suppose you'll want that if you intend to crunch lots of numbers! I feel bad about sending you to FC3 for x86_64. The amount of updating following the installation will be truly prodigious.Any reason you shouldn't just do FC4? That's only two months of upgrades, versus 9 months for FC3. Liz Hare writes: > > Thanks, Janina, > > I don't mind having FC3 at all at this point...
