</div>If you can't figure your way through a configure script, you shouldn't<br>
be running trunk. Trunk is really meant for development, or at least<br>
users who are self-sufficient enough to solve their own problems.<br>
<br>
Back to the original question, any CPU you buy these days is going to be<br>
64-bit. The major drawback to 64-bit was getting software and drivers<br>
for it, but since nearly everything on Linux is open source, whatever is<br>
not available on 64-bit can be recompiled to 64-bit.<br>
<br>
Will you see any performance boost from 64-bit? Probably not. Will<br>
running 64-bit prevent you from doing something? Also very doubtful.<br>

So, please don't give your opinion on what you think I'm capable of doing, you'd be surprised.. <br>
<br>If you wanted to comment or help maybe pointing me to find the information that I asked would be a start, if not then that's fine also.<br>
