Assuming that you install Ubuntu 8.04.1 64 bit edition, then: - the overall RAM visible would be 8 GB - you would be able to run a mix of 32 bit and 64 bit apps. This will not be a problem for you. As for other distros not getting installed or not responding to input during usage, that seems a case of either faulty device drivers or faulty hardware itself. I have a box at work which has a faulty motherboard. Ubuntu 8.04.1 and Belenix work fine on this, but CentOS 5.2 stops responding after about 10 minutes of uptime. -- Sriram -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to plug-mail-requ...@plug.org.in for mailing instructions.
