I don't think you have been able to buy a 32 bit only x86 processor for over 5 years now, so the numbers of 32 bit only machines is dwindling. > It makes me wonder how long it will be before single core machines go the > same way. That depends on what you mean. You have not been able to purchase a new single core processor in quite a few years. As far as I am aware there are no distributions which build without SMP support, but an SMP capable kernel can run on a single core, so the situation with core count is not quite the same as the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit builds. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
