Upgrading hardware to AMD 64
I need to upgrade from a 32 bit P4 to an AMD Athlon 64 have been running Fedora 4 i386
for a month now, so am not really familiar with it. Can I download a copy of the x64 kernel and plug it in, running on the P4 with the i386 OS and run it that way until the upgrade, then go on as usual, or am I looking at a full re-install? Will the 32 bit Fedora run on the 64 hardware? Will my software, Turboprint i386, Snap Graphics, Mozilla, Crossover Office run on either kernel? If it's a re-install on a sparate partition, can I access the i386 Fedora to run programs, or migrate them to the x64 version like I do in OS/2? I have no Windows installed, but have heard XP will run on 32 or 64, as will OS/2, but have read on this site Mandrake will not. Would this be a weakness of Mandrake or Linux, or is it to run better on specific hardware? Thanks in advance Louis Muollo |
