Our graphics workstation here (with similar hardware to yours) runs the x86_64 version (although we haven't moved to 4.2 yet) quite well. And, Nvidia's x86_64 drivers contain 32bit compat libraries, so standard x86 apps get the hardware acceleration as do x86_64 ones. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
