Ain't it the truth! No, I wasn't asking with the anxiety to hurry |
| 8 |
things up - I was asking more about an estimated release time, whether |
| 9 |
it will be a month, 2 months, 3 months, etc. |

I'm not really looking to "experiment" with the cutting-edge releases |
| 12 |
right now. My aim is to build a fast, stable system for my |
| 13 |
computations, which ultimately brought me to another major decision: |
| 14 |
32-bit or 64-bit... I run simulations which I write in C and |
| 15 |
numerical computations which I run in Mathematica (which has just |
| 16 |
released the 64-bit version). Would a 64-bit system significantly |
| 17 |
benefit these applications? |
