Every Intel CPU since at least 2 years (maybe 3, i do not remember) is 64 bits ready (EM64T), even celeron, you do not need to wait the Core 2 :) > Nothing. There are very few 64-bit apps. Most stuff still runs in 32-bit mode. > Some programs don't even run on a 64-bit OS. It's why i request if a 64 bits version is *planned*, it should be in the project of any serious programming company today... I do not request the end of the 32 bits version, i know that many users still use 32 bits OS, but at least propose a 64 bits compiled version. Why do users prefer the 32 bits version of the OS ? Because there is'nt any serious apps yet, causing many compatibility problems (look how many 32 bits games does not run correctly under the 64 bits version of XP/Vista). On my system i keep a dual boot with 32 and 64bits OS because i do not have the choice, i would really prefer to use only one OS and not reboot every time to switch to another program... and this OS should be the 64 bits, thus i request when i can 64 bits versions of the softwares i use to make the evolution to 64 bits quicker... if enough users use and requests 64 bits, the developpers will follow. | `- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Best regards... _ (_' L'informatique est ma passion, vous la simplifier, mon métier ! ,_)téphane Bouvard [antarex AT freenet DOT be] http://www.antarex.be ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
