Re: Very OT: Upgrading computer for digital

Yes? And your point is? You can also get 64 bit pc's right now. The problem I 
mentioned is the that hardware right now is ahead of the software. That will 
change within a year. My comment was that in two years 32 bit machines will be 
obsolete (AMD has no plans to continue production after mid '05), but right now, 
today, they are not worth the extra cost, so anyone who is in the current market 
needs to decide whether they are going to keep the machine for awhile (buy a 64 
bit), or will upgrade again in a couple or years (save money by buying a 32 bit 
system). That applies whether you use Mac's or PC's. If you run Linux most of 
the software can be recompiled as 64 bit so there is no real reason (except 
money) to hold back.
