Re: Core 2 Duo or AMD 64bit (something)

My 2 cents worth. I have been using an Athlon 64-bit
chip for over 1 year running Red Hat. I have not had
many problems with it but I am using it rather sparing
with most of my work being done on 32-bit machines
because there is software support. I found no problems
using Apache server.
