I did finally get that AMD Sempron64 2800+ processor put into my secondary desktop. It’s a swift little computer too. The only problems I’ve had so far with AMD64 Linux is the deinterlacers on TVTime and the fact that you need the closed source nvidia driver for the video card. I finally have it working, but it’s basically in 640x240 mode on the tv until I can get them going again.


Also, Those chips run darn cool. They’re completely useless during the winter as a space heater. It’ll be great this summer though when my P4 chips start their fans going full speed on me. Man can those Intel Netburst chips ever heat a room up. ;)
