OS-level memory management is still much better, right, even when running 32-bit apps (or virtualized 32-bit instances) on 64-bit hardware (with 64-bit OS)?
Presumed corollary: I thought the bigger gains were at an OS level for most *common* apps, except for media-heavy apps. Are there any 64-bit floats used in FF, for instance? I am fairly ignorant on the details here, sorry :) ben On 2/22/07, Jason LaPier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

And seriously tho, nobody got my back on 64-bit Linux? Are we all turning into Mac users? I know it's not literally twice as fast as 32-bit, but it's faster, and how can you put a 64-bit CPU in a machine and run it at anything less? Just doesn't seem like the DIY way... _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
