  I'm on a 64 bit. Can't say I like it much better than my 32 bit XP at home. Maybe it's Vista though...

  • their is noting to like better, the main benefit is being able to use more than 4gb of ram. other than that, no difference.– Machuse1/2

  It's no different most of the time ... 64bit means you can use a much larger amount of RAM (4GB+).

  All optimisation is very dependent on the type of application (and what kind of processing that application needs to carry out). Although, if yr application benefits from a large amount of RAM you'll probably get better performance, but otherwise I don't really think there's so much in it.

  The base concern is that all apps need to be recompiled to work on 64bit. With linux, it's not so difficult - because most applications can be downloaded as source code and recompiled manually. With close-source programs (i.e. Windows) it's not so straightforward, because Microsoft (or Adobe or whoever) have to supply the compiled binary.

  I can't really imagine that they'd choose not to, as it seems that 64bit computing is becoming the standard for new PC's.
