Just some thoughts:
How many of us have been waiting for a G5 Powerbook? How long
do we wait for it, knowing that we have an OS designed for 64-bit
machines? More, Longhorn isn't long in coming, if things develop
properly for MS. LH is a 64-bit OS, too. But how much sooner will
the Wintel world have the power of 64-bit portable computing?
Just curious...what do you think you could do with a 64-bit laptop?
The main advantage of 64-bits over 32 is the enormous contiguous
memory space. The switch from 16 to 32 bits was huge, because many
things we work with don't fit in 16 bit space. There isn't a whole
lot that doesn't fit in 32 bit space...
