Could you provide some additional information? So far 64bit machines always outperformed 32bit machines in my personal benchmarks as well as in third party benchmarks I stumbled upon.
So it would be great if you could provide some links or explanations. thank you leon On 7/27/07, Joe Nathan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Christopher Schultz-2 wrote: > > > > Joe Nathan wrote: > >> I would discourage to use such machine! 8GB means you are using 64 bit > >> machine which will be much slower than 32 bit machines. > > Huh?
