None if you don't need Flash. On the other hand, I needed and used integers > 32 |

As for speed: boy, those new processors (an amd 3800 x2 in my case) are fast... |
| 10 |
as are their 32 bits equivalent. |

64 bits register have been available on every workstations architecture for |
| 12 |
years, but on Intel / amd. Return to the present. |
