Indeed. I'm amazed every time somebody tells me he just had a 32-bit version of Windows or Linux installed. x86-64, the 64-bit extensions to the x86 architecture, have been on every AMD processor for eight (!) years, and on every Intel processor for about six years. -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Aug 21 2011, 21 Av 5771 n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |To decide or not to decide, that is the http://nadav.harel.org.il |question.
