Hello you brilliant minds,

I am in need of some (probably basic) information concerning CentOS and the new dual core 64 bit systems. I realize that Linux was inherently built for multiple processor systems, as well as 64 bit systems. My first question is AMD doing anything special with doing all of the above on one chip that I need to know about before installing CentOS on my newest system? Also, my motherboard being a a8n32-sli has SATA II and RAID capabilities. Is there anything special about the SATA II that I need to set up to use the full capabilities of this hardware and CentOS. Any information would be better than what I have at the moment.

Many thanks in advance.

Brandon
