Making the /boot partition on a RAID is generally not possible with GRUB
(don't know about LILO). It supposedly can be done if the RA

Most certainly incorrect. In fact natively compiled AMD64 64-bit

There is none (if you use the 32bit subset of the AMD64 architecture).
But there is a penalty for using the x86 architecture instead of the
amd64 architecture.
This penalty is not specific to the Athlon64/Opteron/younameit, b

Just for the record, I installed today ia32-libs-gtk from officials
unstable repos in Debian...

I don't know - never ran my Opteron in 32-bit mode. I was wishing 64-bit
floating point operations would be faster but they're not because AMD didn't
really improve the math unit. In principle it should be faster if

I have a Core2 Duo on which I am running a 686 kernel (from Debian
unstable). It has 1GB of memory
I am wondering two things
a) What are the pros and cons in switching to 64 bit mode?
- Is it faster?
- Are the packages less stable?
- Does it need significantly more memo
