Hi  
What CPU? AMD E-350 1.6 GHz? Systems may come with 32bit operating  
system, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t run 64bit if the  
cpu supports it.

```auto
lscpu
free
```

Dear Malcolm,

That would be great! The CPU is AMD E-450 APU with Radeon HD Graphics

What do you mean, will it suffice for running SLE 12? By the way, my ISP has announced maintain service time for today, so I don’t know when I will be online again.

Hi  
So for the CPU you can run 64bit, and you have 8GB of RAM so your  
system will rock along without any issue with SLE 12 and beyond!!!

Even if it comes with a 32bit system that’s sometime a manufactures  
decision normally because of ram installed (eg 2GB), you can even use  
the same product key for a windows 32bit install and swap to 64bit  
install.

Anyway, you should consider the upgrade 😉 If the wireless doesn’t work  
and you have to run the same bootloader entry, then can/should get that  
fixed.

With the radeon driver, if it runs hot there is s systemd package I  
have to set the low power profile to keep the GPU running cool.
