Well, this may be my last installment about my upgrade.

To recap:

I had 32bit AMD system with 1G ram and Kubuntu 6.x

I upgraded to 64 bit dual core AMD Athlon 64X2 with 4gig of ram with two
monitors on an nVidia card.

I had to buy a new PCI-X video card, the newer machines don't support AGP.

I ran 32bit Kubuntu for a while.


I just installed a new SATA drive and installed Kubuntu Feisty 7.03 64bit.

I'd like to write something interesting, but aside from having to use
"Safe Graphical" install because of the nVidia card, every thing just
worked. (Including the nVidia drivers that allow dual head)

I'm very psyched. If I find any weirdness, I'll post about it, but if you
had concerns about 64 bit, come on it, the water's fine.
