Go up one level in this thread


this is a 64 bit processor and i doubt a 32 bit application can be ported to it
without huge effort and significant loss of speed. i'm not even sure whether
there is a 64 bit version of windows ready yet.as far as i know to begin with
this 64 bit processor wil be significantly slower than the fastest 32 bit
processors.
