Rik Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I think if you just turn off the 3d in the MCC, you will have regular desktop.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) I don't know what San Diego 3700 is but I read in many places that it's currently no point in using 64 bit Linux (or Windows). In many cases it's even a bit slower than 32 bit Linux. No Java or Flash etc. The apps less tested because the major of the users are still using 32bit.

Just, ummm... Whats MMC? :D I don't know what San Diego 3700 is but I read in many places that it's currently no point in using 64 bit Linux (or Windows). In many cases it's even a bit slower than 32 bit Linux. No Java or Flash etc. The apps less tested because the major of the users are still using 32bit. San Diego is a AMD64 core ;) I will stick to 32bit. And i noticed that a 32bit installation of Mandriva has more packages than 64bit, so theres another + to 32bit :D Edited December 31, 2006 by Zellenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
