Hi all,
I have been using OpenSuse 13.1 AMD64 OS on my home desktop for sometime now. My home desktop has a NVidia graphics card and I have installed proprietary drivers. So far this graphics card is performing well and no issues noticed till date.
I happened to read from application Configure NVidia X Server settings that my Graphics Card Memory Interface is of 32 bit type. Does this mean it is more beneficial for me to switch to 32 bit OS with this graphics card? I have listed herewith details of my graphics card for ready reference. BTW I am using Intel Core2Duo (E7400 @ 2.8 GHz) 64 bit processor and 4GB RAM. Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.
