I get what you mean Jeremy, but my machine is a Core Duo with x86 architecture, and the driver being only x64 would leave me and many others without being able to use it. x64 architecture users can use both x86 and x64 drivers, while x86 architecture users can only use x86 drivers, so it would leave us all out. Yes, x64 is the future. No, the fact that the x64 machines that come with x64 drivers doesn't make them run faster (most run faster with x86 OSes and the ram cap). Yes, Athlon 64 was a great cpu.
My point is that there is no need to exclude all x86 users, specially when most software/drivers/apps run slower in a x64 environment. I have nothing against it, but after 6 years things certainly aren't where they were supposed to be. I hope Angelic doesn't get mad at me for saying this, but (if he wanted) the right thing would be to first make a x86 driver that ALL can use, then make a x64 version.
