Because you're talking about getting maximum speed. Right now, 32-bit is faster, therefore people will use 32-bit. One can always recompile tomorrow if a faster 64-bit compiler becomes available. >If they want to test it they have to find a way, or not do it at all, use Intels >or GCC. > >I just don't see who would care about the boost Fritz 3.xx is going to get on >AMD64 when there probably will be a supporting 64-bit Fritz 10.xx out. Too bad 64-bit Fritz 10.xx is not available today, or else you'd have a point. >This chip is for the future, not the past. >People who are stuck in the past probably don't care much about speed anyway. That must be why they're using 32-bit binaries that are faster than ones they can compile with 64-bit. Gotcha.
