Hmmm, I would have thought most of the issues with 64 bit architectures would have been sorted out by now. I'm looking at buying a newish desktop pc and have been tossing up between a couple of ex-lease jobbies - the one I was more keen on is 64bit and as this is going to be used by the family to play online flash games, stream music, watch youtube etc, would I be better off with the 32 bit option?
