Altho I am still some time from having my migration from the
1998 Kayak -> 2009 Dell done and working, will it be possible
to upgrade my 32bit 7.2-R, p4 to a 64bit 8.0? Even tho i am
documenting __everything__, it isn't something I would care to
do more than necessary. In going from 32bits to 64, does the
filesystem change? My hunch is that it does, but thought I
would get that clear as a first step. My Intell duo-core is
very fast; would moving to the 64-bit system be a net gain or
loss [in performance].
Eventuaaly, I *will* have 64-bit micros, killers or
otherwise, :-) ...
thanks in advance.
