Linux Mandrake 10.0 and AMD 64 Processor
Can I install athe above on a 64 bit machine [AMD 64 processor] trouble free. Or do I need to install a 64 bit OS [Suse 9.1 Pro]?

Yep seen that lots of times BUT not what I asked. Thats the 'for AMD64' version. Will the normal Mandrake 10 version work OK? No guesses please.
It doesnt look as if it will - it doesnt show up on the hardware compatiability list for mandrake 10.

no got that myself...just wondered if there was a workround.
