64-bit, some questions
Hi, currently running 32-bit Archlinux on my T8300 machine. I'm thinking a lot about switching to x64, because of the performance benefits (even if very small), and also to help the 64-bit community, since I'm now part of it. 
(reporting bugs, making packages for x64 etc)
What I'm wondering is:
Does ndiswrapper work well with x64? I guess I would need the 64-bit windows drivers then, eh?
Flash support?
nvidia drivers, anything there? All OK?
suspend/hibernate? (tuxonice)
Any other heads ups you can think of?
Thanks!

Re: 64-bit, some questions
Hi,

I just speak for the real native x86_64. I don't use lib32 things.
There exists no official flash from Adobe. There is just gnash or swfdec which works fine for the most flash applications, but not all.
nvidia runs as good as the i686 one. No problems here.
The suspend/hibernate works here without an error.
About the other points I have no clue. Don't need ndiswrapper for my NICs.

Thanks for your reply.
I hadn't thought about the lib32 thing. It's basically a /usr/lib32 with 32bit libraries to be able to run 32-bit applications, right? (for example 32-bit Firefox with 32-bit flash plugin.)
About the other things, good to know!
