All macs have been 64 bit since when? I'm thinking its been about 10 years already. Anyone know?
I decided maybe 5 years ago not to buy any more windows hardware until it has all been 64 bit for several years. (so that I don't have to pay a premium for the somewhat 64 bit hardware or way premium for true 64 bit hardware.) I did buy a macbook for my wife to write her thesis on, and it runs windows wicked fast, although it is approaching 2 yrs old now. For my money, a used intel mac is better hardware for windoze than most of the generic stuff. And you get the added bonus that you can run OS X in native more or windows or linux, all native or all the OSes listed all native.
