It appears that the "Personal Edition" has been phased out. On the DVD (assuming its the same as the boxed set DVD) you have all the binaries for 32-bit and 64-bit (AMD64 and EM64T). There should be a second DVD for the sources, but I suspect that ISO isn't available since all the source packages are available from the mirrors. From a functionality standpoint it should be the same. You'll just have access to more software packages than the old Personal Edition. Requirements (from the box) - Processor: Pentium II should work (Pentium 1-4 or one of the AMD processors required) RAM: 128MB required; 256MB recommended - I suspect this means that if you don't have 128MB of RAM the YaST installer won't run. So my guess is that if you have the RAM you should be okay. You may want to do some research on KDE 3.3 (if you're a KDE user) and how it performs on a system with your specs. I just installed the 64-bit on a new HP laptop this weekend. Looks good haven't had a chance to do much with it yet. (*#@%&! Broadcom wireless adapter...)
