Comments on: Hmm so MSI Nettop 100 is 64bit capable? http://vanvalkinburgh.org/blog/2533 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 16:53:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: admin http://vanvalkinburgh.org/blog/2533/comment-page-1#comment-628 admin Sat, 11 Jul 2009 16:53:50 +0000 http://vanvalkinburgh.org/?p=2533#comment-628 Ahh wasn't sure if you were talking about netbook or not. I've never had a problem with 64bit linux, you can still run 32bit applications, it depends on the distro, flash works too. I've mainly only tried ubuntu, so it might be different running 32bit applications on other distros. Ahh wasn’t sure if you were talking about netbook or not.

I'm talking about MSI Wind Nettop (the desktop computer) not about MSI Wind Netbook (the small 10" notebook). I have the version with a single core, only hyperthreading. I have the "Lm flag" as you said. But didn't tried it with 64 bits. I've seen some benchmarks that proved that 64 bits are a little faster, but I don't know how this 64 bits works in the Linux world. From my experience, 64 bits in Windows sucks (no drivers for some stuff, no software ready yet, like flash plugin, etc), so I always stick with the 32 bits version. That is why I'm reluctant in moving my Linux server (yes, talking about MSI Wind nettop) on 64 bits. Not quiet understanding you.

Sometimes 64bit OS's can be faster, it depends on what you are doing. The MSI Nettop 100 is a desktop barebone. Not sure if the Wind's use the same processor. I also read that some intel atom 330 processors don't do 64bit, or maybe the bios on the computer doesn't support it. 64bit OS's have always worked good for me, so I always use them if the computer supports it.

What is the difference between 64bits and 32? I mean what are the advantages and maybe the disadvantages from running in x64? On my computers, I always keep my Windows in 32 bit version. On my Wind, I have Slackware 32 bits. What I get from x64? A dumb question.
