The fact that you're using an SMP kernel probably means you have multiple or dual-core processors. This does not have to do with whether they are 64-bit. Some Pentium 4 processors support EM64T (64-bit), while others do not; it depends on the exact model. "uname -m" I think tells you the machine type of the kernel, but I doubt that this has to do with what your hardward actually supports. Also, "cat /proc/cpuinfo" gives you a lot of info about your processor; maybe you can decipher it.

I have only 64 Bit OS installed.
They are running much faster compared to the 32 Bit versions.

rickh, Mine says, command not found.

So, how can I find out what modules my SuSE 10 system loads and uses?
I want to see if it has/uses evdev mousedev and such.
I tried "cat /proc/modules" but I get a command not found. I searched for "modules" and found a proc/modules file but it was empty.

spooon, cat /proc/cpuinfo worked nicely and stuff is listed twice it seems. Thanks!

'lsmod' is the command to see currently loaded modules.
did 'cat /proc/modules' give you 'command not found'? or was it something else like 'permission denied' or 'file not found'?

I first ran a Suse 32b on my ADM64 and later formated and installed suse 64bits.
I didn't experience a noticable speed increase.

In fact, I experience more problems with installing packets that are 32b and have 32b dependencies. I takes more tinkering.

Thank you so much nadroj! That worked.
When I typed 'cat /proc/modules' it gave me a 'command not found'.

"uname -p" should give quick architecture type -- "uname -a" (as mentioned above) will also include that information

It *can* even be slower in some circumstances as it may require more RAM, that may lead to more paging to disk

I've been running a 64 Bit kernel for some time but a couple of weeks ago decided to to try dual booting with a 32 Bit kernel. Both are Ubuntu 6.06. Now with a little direct experience I can make a reasonable comparison. As a user I can't discern a difference in speed although I've not tried any objective measures. Over time I got most things to work with the 64 Bit Ubuntu but still flash evaded me. I haven't yet tried the chroot jail method which should work. With the 32 Bit kernel I rapidly past the complement of software on my 64 Bit kernel. Before Ubuntu I'd been a devoted SuSE user for some time -- SuSE 10.1 drove me away. I will give SuSE credit for making 64 Bit operation in a mixed 64/32 Bit environment more transparent. As an old geek of many years, the thought of running a 32 Bit OS on a 64 Bit machine seemed almost blasphemy. I've been very focused on Linux for the desktop and have helped many make the transition to Linux. At this time, I recommend to new and experienced users Ubuntu 6.0.6 32 Bit as the OS of choice. It's much simpler for me to support users on 32 Bit Ubuntu and they can focus more on the use and not the facilitation of use. Although running dual boot 32 and 64 Bit Ubuntu, my own default boot is the 32 Bit version.

gbullit,
I wish mine would do that.
When I do that, I don't get anything but Media:/
I'm using SuSE 10.0 and have KDE as my desktop. How's yours set up?

that is what I get when click on My Computer. But there is one interesting thing which I did not noticed since now and that is 21G media. I dont remember if that exists on my previous system SuSE 10.0. I think I only had 15G ntfs, 1G swap, 40G vfat separate disk for my files and 70G reiserfs. What for is this 21G reiserfs partition?

Greetings smart masses,
Yes I am a newb and when I built my pc Feb 2005 I installed Suse because it was made for 64 bit AMD applications. Is this no longer the case? I recently re-installed it because it weent to runlevl 3 and wouldn't accept my passwords. Now I'm in the process of replacing the drivers for varous hardware. Fun, fun, fun!!!
