All this suggests, without any other information about the application and the size of the data set, is that the bottleneck is not necessarily a 32-bit CPU one.
Here are just a few of the questions that would need to be answered to diagnose this issue effectively: - What are the full hardware specs of the two machines? - What OS is running on both machines? - What is the name of the application? - What and how much data is being processed? - What components are proving to be the bottlenecks on both systems? *ASB *(My XeeSM Profile) <http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker> *Exploiting Technology for Business Advantage...* * * Signature powered by WiseStamp <http://www.wisestamp.com/email-install> On Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 5:36 PM, Roger Wright <[email protected]> wrote: > One of our engineers has a modelling program that often takes several > hours to crunch the data and render the output on his 32-bit office > machine.
