Subject: Rybka --How glitchy?

Hmmmmmmmmmm.......  I been thinking of buying Rybka but...   After reading a
number of Posts here I have some concerns.  1) I have a 64 bit xp Athlon cpu
machine -- Does it work well in this environment or are there 64 bit UNIQUE to
OS bugs/ glitches?  2)  If I buy now will I get a subsequent later version that
has the glitches fixed?  His site seems a little unclear to me also  I dont PAY
to be a BETA TESTER!!  (Sorry I ask this but I have several Chessbase products
with unresolved glitch issues.)  How complex is the download? I know I sound
like a dweeb but I herard / Read stories of some not being able to effect the
procedure (large file?) correctly.  I have bought Genius 7 and have had to
reformat my Hard drive periodically and the nice thing is I can go to the
download site -enter my code and it downloads again- NONE of the limited
installs GARBAGE hassles!  Is rybka this way also? Also I have to ask opinions
here...is Rybka positional or tactical primarily?  I realze this is subjective
but.....I would LOVE to have a Program that plays like Nimzo!  Many thanks in
advance.  ALex
