Hi,

I have a X86_64 machine. I have installed FC8. But I discovered that with Mozilla, for instance, some webs, requiered to use some plugins, like Shokewave-flash. But this extension is not available for 64bits machine....

this machine will be used for webserver, but also as desktop machine.. is this really reasonable to use a i386 version of FC8 on a 64b machine ?
Is there a real gain to use an 64b version ?

Thanks for your help
.
