I agree with AJM on all of his points. I have run MythTV for over 3 years running 64bit on my backend servers, and most of my frontends. I worked through the 64bit transition of the yum repositories, and for the past year+ they have been solid. Short of the annoyances with getting a flash plugin to work, I would recommend it.<br>
<br>It sounds like from what AJM mentioned Adobe finally relased a 64bit plugin?! AJM, can you clairify this? I looked and did not see a 64bit version on adobe's site.<br><br> I have 4 frontends and 2 backends running a mixture of Fedora 9, and Centos5. I install mythtv from atrpms, I have found that Axel Thimm knows what he is doing and I trust his packaging.<br>

</div>If you can't figure your way through a configure script, you shouldn't<br>
be running trunk. Trunk is really meant for development, or at least<br>
users who are self-sufficient enough to solve their own problems.<br>
<br>
Back to the original question, any CPU you buy these days is going to be<br>
64-bit. The major drawback to 64-bit was getting software and drivers<br>
for it, but since nearly everything on Linux is open source, whatever is<br>
not available on 64-bit can be recompiled to 64-bit.<br>
<br>
Will you see any performance boost from 64-bit? Probably not. Will<br>
running 64-bit prevent you from doing something? Also very doubtful.<br>
