hola,
sorry if i haven't follow all discussions on the subject, but what is the status now of pd on a 64 bits architecture? more precisely, on an intel core duo?
which version needed?
thanks, sevy

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)
i have no experience with 64bit intel machines.

A bit off-topic: what's the cheapest AMD64 that you can get? Are the
original generation good chips? 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.

Huh, what happened with subsequent generations?

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...

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)

not a bad idea.. did you ever try sourceforge's build farm? i mean maybe it'd save you electricity..

But if you're going to run pd on this, the second CPU is only for the GUI, unless you use threaded externals. Right? So, what kind of performance improvement do you expect? (Do you give the same answer for when using Tcl/Tk 8.4 vs when using 8.5 ?)

It was my first excursion into Linux so not realising the problems
(then lack of time to redo things) meant I installed the debian
puredata packages on an AMD64 (with 64 bit Kannotix) - I have to be
careful as there are a number of things that will crash it, and I
have a very limited choice of codecs but it works reliably enough to
go on a tour through 5 venues without any intervention from me.
I use mainly Gem with 4 composite video inputs (v4l) for a quite nice
video mixer with 3D object animation - all controlled from another
machine with joysticks and a BCF200 via netsend/netreceive, as one of
several networked machines running different projectors - so I
haven't tried audio, though it seems to open jack etc without complaint.
