It isn't KDE 4 that I am interested in, it is Intrepid 64.

I am told that Intrepid has fixed many of the 64 bit problems, is easier 
to install, and was designed more 64 bit friendly.  I don't know, but I 
just keep reading the posts, and it seemed the best idea.  Do you 
disagree with a good reason?  I expect I will use Intrepid eventually.  
My new system is not highest technology but lightyears past my current.  
The new system is on an ASUS Mempipe Motherboard, the Processor is an 
AMD Phenom 9600 BE Quad Core, Hard drive is sata.  You can put 4 
advanced video cards on the motherboard and have them all work 
together.  I have 8gb of ECC DDR2, which is slow by today's standards, 
however that's what I have.  Basically, I want to take advantage of all 
the great capabilities of the new equipment, and I have been told 
Intrepid 64 bit is much better than Hardy 64 bit.  Do you know 
different?  I have never had such fine equipment; it will be great to 
click and not have to wait on everything.
