pd-0.41 (his is: the current CVS), seems to work fine on my amd64 (the only problems i had with earlier versions were the tables)
it was freezing on launch here until start with -noaudio, then i realize the configure.in generates a script that still doesn't properly detect jack.. manually enabling and make clean install got it to connect to jackd (according to patchage). havent plugged in headphones yet...
i have no experience with 64bit intel machines.
A bit off-topic: what's the cheapest AMD64 that you can get?
Sempron64. they cost as much as a few trips to Starbucks these days.. they have a big less cache, subjectively a 2.0g sempron felt slower than my 2.0g athlon64, but it could have also been the onboard VIA video, 800 mhz vs 1 ghz bus speed, IDE vs SATA hd, etc.. its a good deal, but id get a Core 2 Duo if you can swing the cash and just want the best performance (per watt, and quite possible per monetary unit)
Are the original generation good chips?
sure. but theyre single core (the dual core boost is probably 95% more performance, compared to maybe 20% for just the 64bit part)
I'd like to get one, and well, I have no money... then perhaps I
could also run nightly builds on it, when I am not using it
not a bad idea.. did you ever try sourceforge's build farm? i mean maybe it'd save you electricity..
