I have to agree on that, its just too much work for no apparent gain. |

Unless we are talking about mission critical systems where we should |
| 27 |
avoid any point of possible failure, but I guess if it was the case, |
| 28 |
ZNES wouldn't be installed :D |

But maybe I'm the wrong person to ask, I still run a 32 bits system, |
| 31 |
never bothered to go full 64 for the same exact reason above (and |
| 32 |
since this system is almost 6 years old, with no reinstall, just minor |
| 33 |
adjustments to hardware changes, I don't plan on a full install so |
| 34 |
soon). |
