Benjamin i think that ur a comp pro(well,I'd like to be one
*desperately*)
well right now i'm just a highschool kid.And i live in India.

Any personal info on urself that u'd like to share with me?

Well, of course the majority of used PCs is still 32bit (and that will
probably be the case for at least another year). But _new_ computers
which are available in stores are already 64bit for over a year now...


And they're still not popular?r'nt they worth buying? do they suck?
R'nt they meant to be better than 32-bit????(Well if there's one person
who can answer all these questions, it might b u. B'cause u use a 64)

Except the 64bit enhancement in the cpus they are basically
the same like 32bit PCs...


what kinda enhansmant?

Besides that, 64bit doesn't automatically make a program run faster.
Really, usually most 64bit programs indeed are a bit _slower_ than their
32bit counterpart if the program can't make use of the specialities
64bit offers (i.e. bigger address space, additional registers).


But y'd any mad Guy make an application which does'nt make use of the
specialities that the platform has to offer?(*bigger address space,
additional registers* wat ever that means?)

Well, the are a few professional applications (i.e. expensive MCAD
packages) for WIN64, but basically that's it. For the consumer markets
there are just the few games for which a 64bit client also is available,


well that might be an answer for the lack of popularity of 64-bit(It
won't be like this all the time!!)

R u a gamer by any chance?
(well i'm a hardcore gamer.)

but they hardly justify the move to Winxp 64bit...


But benj dear, u OWN a 64 bit pc, does that essentially mean that ur a
softie pro(software pro) or ur not a part of the consumer market?

ur's rAgAv.
