Both, more or less. It's 32-bit if compiled for/on a 32-bit CPU (Like Pentium or MIPS32 or SPARC32, etc). It's 64-bit if compiled on a 64-bit CPU (Athlon64, Alpha, Itanium, UltraSPARC). However, a version of XFree86 built for x86-32 will run on x86-64. > Is going to be a grafical better performance with > the new 64 bit procesors > ??? Possibly. The increase to 64 bits, by itself, barely matters, but the AMD64 architechture has some other advantages when run in 64-bit mode, like more registers and better SIMD extensions. This could translate into superior performance. I wouldn't expect massive gains, but with a good optimizing compiler, some improvement might be noticed. > Thanks and regards > Marcel - M3 > Linux User #328858 > http://counter.li.org/ > > > > > _______________________________________________ > XFree86 mailing list > XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx > http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86 _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
