    So I went ahead and picked up the Athrlon 64. I"m much happier with it. It's much much quieter. And
    just as fast. There's a problem, though. I absolutely can't get 64-bit SuSE installed properly. 3
    times after doing YOU updates my filesystem has been corrupted. About a dozen times I couldn't even
    do updates via YOU for some reason. They'd end in the middle mysteriously, then when I tried to run
    YOU again either the packages would still need to be installed or they wouldn't be installed and
    wouldn't be on the list. Either way it's been a mess. Worst of all, I rely on slrn as my newsreader
    (I've been trying to post to the newsgroup and can't) and it crashes when I try to post. It's a
    disaster, in short. I'm not sure if I'm trying to do things outside the norm or if there are
    generally problems with the 64-bit versions, but I"m beginning to think it's not worth my trouble
    for now. I have the chipset I want. I can upgrade later when these hassles go away.

    FWIW, my motherboard is an MSI K8MM and my CPU is an AMD Athlon 3200+.
