Hi Guys! we're waiting for our new 64 bit machine to arrive. Up to now we've used only 32 bit machines. Do we need a specific 64-bit release of Fluent or we can simply install what we have. Thanks for your attention.

You can (may not be true for all OS's) install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit machine but then your new machine will run in "32-bit mode". If it is a Window-box you have no choice, since there is no 64-bit windows-version of Fluent yet.

As already mentioned, you can use the 32bit version, but it will be approx. 25% slower than the 64bit code.

This moment I'm running Fluent on 64bit AMD Dual-Core CPU workstation. My suggestions are:
- you should use 64 bit version of Fluent; - you should use 64 bit version of Linux. - RedHat, Suse, Fedora do not work with Fluent; - the best results I've got were with new Mandriva Linux. |

>>> RedHat, Suse, Fedora do not work with Fluent;
We tested all 3 of them - experienced no problems, Fluent runs well! (at the moment we are using Debian) |

I have mentioned what CPU's I'm using. Please, check if you have exactly the same CPU.

Yes, it's an AMD64 X2 4200 (dual core).

There _will_ be a 64bit _windows_ version; but the 64bit linux version already exists for 6.2.16.
