Hi, |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I'm also curious to the answers to this question ;-) I just received |
| 16 |
(yesterday) my new AMD64 comp, and am busy installing it too as 64bit. I |
| 17 |
found this link which does answer quite a lot: |
| 18 |

| 19 |
|

This does however not say if users are successfully using 64bit |
| 21 |
systems, and if there are actual advantages to it (double-libraries for |
| 22 |
some programs etc etc). |
