If you need full blown 64bit registers and the benefits (crypto on 64bit is actually quite fast) then use it.. most people can't really tell a difference. 64bit code can sometimes consume more memory than 32bit code because of alignment padding / memory enlargement. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
