Hi all,
I am thinking of buying a new notebook.
While my hw-dealer tries to sell me a intel-based one, I figured I can
get more CPU-Speed, double ram and 64 instead of 32bits if I take an
amd64-based notebook (we are talking about the current series from
asus).
So my question is: Has anyone of you made positive or negative
experience with amd64? Are there (audio-)apps that don't work on 64?
Thanks in advance,
Arnold

Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich
verhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner und
einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.

pretty much everythign works great. at least, all of jack and related frontends like
qjackctl/patchage, as do just about all ladspa/dssi synths/plugs and hosts/sequencers like
om/seq24 and mhwaveedit runs great (rezound and sweep tend to crash, and ardour tended to
randomly crash now and then but that was a few alphas ago) and pd is broken..SC seems
broken but on all linuxes not just amd64, and Chuck works...
Thanks in advance,
Arnold

I own one: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Asus_A6U
There are newer models of course but they are along the same thing.
2Ghz Turion ML-37, 1G RAM (upgraded), 1M cache...quite fast.
I was an early adopter. I have a desktop that is getting kind of
older but still damn fast compared to other PC's currently on the
market. Lots has gotten a lot better since then. Most Linux stuff
works fine on 64.
So my question is: Has anyone of you made positive or negative

Mostly positive. Only app I can't seem to get working right is
qsynth. Finally managed to get static without a crash...so things are
looking up ;)
You can also always go 32 bit. The 64 works just like a later model
AMD in 32 bit mode. Considerably less expensive than any halfway
decent Intel...and most Intel laptops seem to be REALLY slow for what
is in them. Not so with this thing...

Hmm, QSynth and fluidsynth are the reason I installed
qsampler/linuxsampler and searched for some gigs. fluidsynth works
here but doesn't produce nice sounds from soundfonts that work in my
sblive (*)...
Thanks for your thoughts,
Arnold
(*) Lots of hiss in fluidsynth's output.

Everything is working well for me, amd64 939 3000+, on ati xpress
chipset. Though if you are thinking of doing graphics as well i'd
stear very clear of ati's cards. Though that's not 64 bit related. I
had a few probs getting wine/cedega working perfectly and mplayer so
i'm not sure how fst/dssi-vst/etc would work on amd64. Though i
haven't actually tried it on my new system yet.
