    64 or 32 Bits?

    Seeing as all the 2010 Polls are hanging around active, I thought this could be an interesting one to add.

    Do you use 32bit or 64bit (or something else altogether) for your primary OS?

    Use 64 bot when I can ... depends on system spec

    I voted 64 bit - I use it when I can, but still have some 32 bit systems - because the PCs are 32 bit.

    Running 64-bit for the last year or two without any issues, and see no reason to downgrade.

    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I run Gentoo on 64Bit but Most of my "other" installs are 32 bit just because I'm lazy!
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

    Still running my system in 32bit. Some day I'll upgrade I'm sure to 64bit. Maybe the next big version upgrade of CentOS.

    One way...
    uname -a

    Code:
    uname -a
    
    Linux reed-laptop 2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 7 22:28:29 CET 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5550 @ 1.83GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
    x86_64=64 bit

    i386, i486, i586, i686=32 bit

    64-bit on my computers that can do it
    32-bit on my computers that cannot
    and 32-bit on Mandriva One because that's what it comes in.
