Everybody has more than 1G memory and according to folks that know these things, that's where the kernel starts thrashing the page tables. Unfortunately there still are some 32-bit only mini laptops sold. A friend bought one a one or two years ago much to my disgust. I thought I was free of maintaining 32-bit system and then this thing shows up forcing me to keep a second set of install images on hand. Yuck. Sadly, before Fedora Smolt went down, it still showed more 32-bit than 64-bit installs. Fedora doesn't do enough to encourage everyone that can run to to run it. -wolfgang -- g+: https://plus.google.com/114566345864337108516/about -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
