x86-64 OS Comparison

Via Slashdot: Anandtech has an article that compares the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Fedora Core 2, and SuSE 9.1 on an Athlon 64 PC config. It's an OK read, but a little dissappointing if you're looking to move to 64-bit for gaming or multimedia. I have to say that FC2 on the Opteron Server I'm testing is quite compatible, but I haven't really benchmarked it against anything else. If you're looking to put together a new Linux server, I think an AMD64 platform is probably the best current option.

What about OS X. It's a 64-bit OS. And the Xserve G5 is pretty sweet!
