Yes, but there's a loss of performance if you do that.
Any idea of the loss of performance given that virtually all PCs
these days are actually 64 bit machines? The laptop I am typing this
on is a 64 bit, dual core 2 year old bargain basement priced machine
I bought in a hurry for $550. It would have been a $400 machine, but
I wanted the 17"... er, 430 mm display.
But then I forget about the people who want to design kitchens on
their iPads... ;^)
As someone pointed out, couldn't that be a build option? If someone
needs to design boards larger than 2 meters, would it be a hard thing
to do to build a 64 bit version?
