Greetings,

I have just purchased a system that fits the following specs:

Dual 64bit 244 Opteron 1.8GHz
1GB 3200 400MHz DDR Memory
2 x 250GB SATA West Digi Drives
...other details left out...

My question is: Can I put a dual 64 bit system to _full_ use? This, of course, supposing I have a 64bit kernel and all perl binaries and libraries supporting 64bit arch. Also, what modules are out there for me that I may need and what tools will I need to do some major number crunching?

Your help and input are much appreciated!

Thanks,

rulethirty
