ummm -- I do not see a statement anywhere in the 
http://caosity.org/ site (which has the CentOS rebuild effort 
as one of the supported projects), which 'purported to support 
the 64-bit chip' (I assume an Opteron, but this is not clear).  
Probably in the future, but the testing hardware has not been 
present in the CentOS developer sub-group.

Would you be so kind as to point it out to me?  It should be 
removed if present currently.

I checked the Tao Bugzilla and do not see _any_ bug filing on 
difficulties starting MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Also, I checked the Tao Bugzilla and do not see a bug filing, 
nor an 'lspci -v -v'  on any video card issue other than a 
fixed one: "ASUS GeForce FX 5200 - it does recognize it 
properly as a Nvidia GeForce FX".

If bugs are not filed, they do not exist;  been that way 
forever.
