I have to agree with eric here. What kind of nonsense is that to say that if you don't know what benefits you would get out of a 64 bit system, you don't need it? Speed would be the obvious benefit along with everything that Eric said. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that<grin>.

That's rediculous. Sorry guy, one may not much care that a > 32 bit opperating system uses a 32 bit system bus and a 64 bit > system uses a 64 bit system bus. One still may care that a 64 bit opperating system makes use of all the resourses at the desposal of the system, where-as a 32 bit opperating system makes use of only half. That may be over simplifying, but if you boil it down like that, One might consider that a true 64 bit opperating system is faster and more stable on 64 bit hardware than a 32 bit opperating system is. And, one might care about that, especially if one is putting a fare ammount of money into a system. One might be passing interested in the fact that true 64 it systems have better security features than 32 bit systems, and that you need a 64 bit OS to take advantage of those hardware features, even if you don't want all the technical detales. One might also be interested in generalities about the overall effectiveness of 64 bit xp, vs 64 bit vista, and the fact that vista is better developped for 64 bit systems. Maybe that seems obvious to some one who knows computers, but it would be valuable information for some one who thinks these things are more or less created equal. The attitude that end users thinking about buying or upgrading systems don't need to know about the differences between 32 bit and 64 bit is frankly misguided, and I'm surprized that a normally with it support professional would publish a statement like this. I don't think we were looking for the engineering diagrams from asus here, just a general list of benefits like performance, stability, security, and hardware compadibility, and I really think most people are interested in those.
