64 Bit

[Mad Cat]

All you people that said, "Don't get 64 bit there won't be anything coming out for it," can eat your own hats!

If one was to get a free 64 bit Linux distro, one could, FROM THE BOX, use a 64 bit version of UT2004, which actually gains 20% performance wise over the 32 bit version.

I&#39;ll clear off my old hard drive and do a dual OS boot once I find a 64 bit Linux distro to d/l, and have some bandwith free.

Any Linux-ers out there, I could use some help :)

EDIT: The game comes out on Marth 19th by the way.

This (http://www.mslinux.org/) may help. I&#39;m sure there will be a 64-bit release soon. :lol:

Seriously though, this (http://www.mandrakesoft.com/products/92/amd64) may the sort of thing you are looking for.

The first UT had Linux support, Epic is leading the way for Linux gamers :)

CD3 of UT2003 contained the Linux installer for that too if you&#39;re interested.

I would but:

633MHz Celeron
384MB RAM
64MB Nvidia GeForce 4 MX440

Tux Racer (http://tuxracer.com) is kind of fun though :lol:

:o :w00t:

Did he get a decent FPS?

64 bit SuSE (ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/suse/x86_64/)

64 bit Mandrake (ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/Mandrake-iso/amd64/)

enjoy&#33;

AMD 64 bit Gentoo

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/index.xml

Not a beginner distro though

[bob_the_alien]

I just can&#39;t wait for UT2k4 to come out, being playing the demo for a while now, and it&#39;s gotten me very addicted, but just sucks actually having to pay. :angry:

As for saying not to buy, I don&#39;t think anyone was really saying not to buy 64 bit, just don&#39;t buy right now, wait for more programs and O/S&#39;s to come out that support 64, and by then the hardware would be cheaper.
That&#39;s my plan, anyhow.
