I know there is a big “anti” against 64bit, especially here on OSNews… but it’s definitely faster. Going back to 32bit? I’m forced to every day in the office and it’s a pain… My big question now is, when will games utilize this technology and push the limits some more? Then startup battlefield 2 and wait for about 0.01 seconds before it kicks in… I’m amazed by the 64bit power I never dreamed of before.

NEXUIZ UT2004 DRIVERS
I’m not on dualcore and the only thing I can really say beyond drivers is that sometimes the system locks at random when closing an app for 1-2 seconds. However, being an early adopter, it’s important to realize that there are setbacks with being in the 1% group that tries a new product. I can admit that it is a big problem with drivers, especially for all extra devices (like my Rio Karma) which simply doesn’t exist. Bye Bye waiting times for app/game start. I was surprised (to say the least) by it’s enormous speed. When I bought my latest computer I went for XP64 to see what it was all about. K7-SMP AthlonXP64X2 (32bit) – Dual CPUDualcore K7 Athlon, Athlon XP,Athlon 64(32-bit),Duron,Semperon So yes, everyone needs to load an optimized kernel, esp for HT/Dual CPU/Dual Core support I have not had any trouble mounting, did you report the bug, along with your specs? Aslo, to run 32-bit dual core load the K7-SMP and for 64-bit load the K8-SMP. Which is something I have long waited for.Īs far as the kernel-land.
NEXUIZ UT2004 DRIVER
So I disagree that 5.10 is slower (5.04 was).Īnd for my system playing Nexuiz or UT2004, they latest nVidia driver has brought FPS pairty for Windows and Linux. I have found that adding Option “RenderAccel” “true” to nf device section can also speed up rendering as well. 5.10 uses Ciaro, which in turn uses Giltz (OpenGL) has a backend, so your nice and shinny 6800 is doing the rendering. With Ubuntu 5.10 (as of a new X server a couple days ago) windows rendering/snappyness in my opinion is on par with the Windows GUI. There’s also a problem with running the later kernels and trying to mount extra paritions, which I haven’t worked out yet. You’ll have to compile your own kernel, or it won’t see two cores (check /proc) and run in single proc mode. I’m sure it’ll help if I’m doing any intense compiling or something of that nature.Īlso, the default kernel from Ubuntu doesn’t support the dual core Athlon chips yet. With Linux, I don’t notice that much of a difference between dual core and single core. With the dual core, Windows is much more responsive to various workloads. In Windows, an app freaking out could bog down the entire system. In general, if an app were to freak out, the others would be fine and it wouldn’t hurt system responsiveness. I never had responsiveness problems with Linux. I don’t do any 3D apps with Linux, so I can’t talk on that performance compared with Windows (where I play some shoot-em-up games).
Even with the official nVidia drivers installed on Ubuntu, it’s still slower in general (page scrolling, refreshes, redraws) although not by a huge amount.

NEXUIZ UT2004 INSTALL
With Linux, it’s a fresh install of Ubuntu 5.10. When I boot into Windows, it’s a weeks old install of XP SP2. It’s difficult to compare, since the tasks I perform are usually quite different when I boot into Windows as compared to when I boot into Linux.
