I use the amd64 version of debian with my Athlon 64 2800+ (single core) along with a GeForce 5700LE and it works fine. Your system looks to be a step up (or two) from mine but I think you'll be in good condition. The default kernel (testing ->) is smp (dual core) aware. If you install sarge you need to install the -smp kernel of choice, probably *-amd64-k8-smp. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
