Ubuntu AMD 64 Question

Ubuntu will NOT run on a muti-core motherboards properly. You should've just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with SP1 or Puppy Linux Live.

Ubuntu works with RAM and CPU Memory instead of a pc like xp that uses Virtual RAM. If the pc that could not load ubuntu doesn't have enough ram to support the reading of the Hard drive and the Operating System then it won't work and Xp will only run on the computer that xp was installed onto the hard drive.

Uninstall Ubuntu and try Ubuntu 32bit version.
Vista sometimes does not get along with other software,or O.S

64-BIT PROGRAMS runs on 64-BIT OPERATING SYSTEMS

The 64-BIT Processor has nothing to do with it, it serves a different purpose specifically, to the OPERATING SYSTEM.

better uninstall the program and reinstall it..

Hardware
At a minimum, 3ds Max 2009 32-bit requires a system with:
* Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon™ XP or higher processor
* 512 MB RAM (1 GB recommended)
* 500 MB swap space (2 GB recommended)
* Hardware-accelerated OpenGL® application programming interface and Direct3D® application programming interface supported
* Microsoft Windows – compliant pointing device (optimized for Microsoft IntelliMouse)
* DVD-ROM drive
Note: Apple® computers based on Intel processors and running Microsoft operating systems are not currently supported.
At a minimum, 3ds Max 2009 64-bit requires a system with:
* Intel EM64T, AMD Athlon 64 or higher, AMD Opteron™ processor
* 1 GB RAM (4 GB recommended)
* 500 MB swap space (2 GB recommended)
* Hardware-accelerated OpenGL and Direct3D supported
* Microsoft Windows – compliant pointing device (optimized IntelliMouse)
* DVD-ROM drive

I read this and don't believe you - yes the AMD dual core gets hot - yes AMD processor are HOT processors - is intel better - no there on par with AMD - the thu put rate is so close it doesn't matter - now vista basic is just that BASIC - if you want to bump it up - home premium 32 or 64 but ultimate 64 should get it going.

NOTE: Since many proprietary video codecs, flash player etc.. are not available for 64-bit platforms, it is difficult to configure 64-bit machines for a complete multimedia experience. Hence it is advised that users new to linux use the 32-bit version of SUSE (32-bit SUSE works fine on 64-bit AMD machines)

Way to check would be open a terminal
type uname -a

If you use 32-bit Follow this page - http://tweakhound.com/linux/suse/101/installing_1.htm
I use ubuntu and to be able to compile flash you need dependencies to be met.
If you need more help, ask.

G'luck

depends on what you plan to do with the cpu amd are good but a 3200 may only run @ 1.8 to 3.2 ghz depending while a intel 3200 will run 3.2 ghz.
I believe intel are more stable & run cooler than AMD but AMD benchmarks on Games better but run hotter (so get a good cooling fan & heatsink both pentium / celeron d & intel dou / dual core / core 2 dou and amd x2 have 2 cores (but watch your front side bus and cache the higher the better but the more $ also) then You need a good stable mobo that supports the chip you get (I preffer asus & msi for Gamers and biostar / msi for home users)

System Requirements:

Processor:
# Pentium III, 800MHz or AMD Athlon XP

Operating System:
# Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or later
# Windows Vista (32-bit or 64-bit editions)

Hard Disk:
# 430 MB

Memory:
# 512 MB RAM

Optical Drive:
# DVD-ROM

Other:
# 1,024 × 768 or better monitor resolution
# Mouse or tablet

Where these are the minimum specs I would recommend at least 1+gb memory and a good graphics card and a P4 or AMD processor running at 1.8ghz or better, and that would depend on how in depth you get into the program
