Never use anything that requires it. But if I ever do, the card supports it and I have your recommendation. > > 4GB RAM > > If you go with 32bit install (i386) I would recommend the > -amd64 kernel. Nope. Going 64-bit all the way. Have the CD burned and everything. All previous Fedora installs on this machine have been 64-bit. I see no reason to change. I'm aware of 64-bit pitfalls: mainly, the lack of a 64-bit Flash plugin that isn't an alpha or beta. I may just install a 32-bit browser (and proper 32-bit libraries) and use 32-bit plugins. I did this with Fedora 6 64-bit and never had any problems. I've never had good results wrapping 32-bit plugins. Thanks for your input.
