Hi, I finally assembled an amd64 machines: ASUS K8V SE Deluxe
motherboard, Athlon 64 3000+, IDE disk, 2x512MB PC3200 Kingston memory,
SuSE 9.1 64 bit from DVD installed fine. After booting I installed all
patches, reboot went fine.

I bought a cheap PCI gigabit card (RTL-8169, 21 euros) for my other
machine and was able to do 58 MB/s from the other machine to the amd64,
and 37 MB/s from the amd64 (measured with netcat < /dev/zero). My switch
is a cheap Netgear GS105 (75 euros) and I use cat 5E cables. Is there
any tweaking I should try to improve performance (like frame size)? Not
that I need it :).

I did not try SATA, Firewire, USB, sound (yet).

Is Cool&Quiet supposed to work with this mobo/processor/kernel? I
activated the option in the BIOS, but looks like SuSE says
it isn't supported.

Laurent

# powersave -c
