Hi folks, I enjoy using the "regular" Archlinux for 2 years on 3 machines. I'd like to have the x86_64 flavor on my eMachines with Athlon64 CPU, and I've tried a couple of other x86_64 linux distributions on it with no performance improvement. Just recompiling applications for x86_64 architecture doesn't help - some things become even slower, for example, video encoding. Let's see what AMD suggests: "ACML (AMD Core Math Library) is ... a 64-bit library that is designed to fully exploit the large memory space and improved performance offered by the latest AMD64 architectures. ACML is supported on both Linux and Microsoft Windows operating systems." http://www.developwithamd.com/acml.aspx What do think about this? Are there benchamrks available for Arch64 compared to 686 Archlinux? Cheers, S. -------------------------------------- sent through sqMail for Xoops (http://www.guanxiCRM.com)
