I have been working under the assumption running mythtv under 64 bit linux would be SLOWER (due to increased memory IO overhead), not faster. I thought running 64 bit would only be beneficial if I had more that 3.5 GB of ram to use.</blockquote>
<div><br>Is it true running 64 bit would be faster? Why? increased X video pipeline sizes or something?<br><br>If re-installing in 64 bit will make a significant improvement I will do it. The reason I am not running in 64 bit right now is I thought it would be slower, and also I didn't want to have compatibility problems with other software I might want to run later.<br>
