Hi,
Ok, call me stupid or summutts lol, but is there any disadvantage of having
32-bit over 64-bit?

Choice between x86 and x64 will depend on the uses for the computer. x64
permits 32bit software to run in a larger address space and 64bit software
to run in a really big address space. The registers on a 64bit processor
are roomier and are of some benefit to 32bit software as well as 64bit. Of
course, you have to have a 64bit processor for any of this to matter. My
question for you is, if you have the available partiitons, why not run both?

In short... do you have more then 2 gig of ram in your system ?
Well, the long story is that even so its costly to run 64bit addressing (2x
the memory bandwith/usage for pointers)
you get the new IA64 set... more registers. and true 64bit.
This can help often the slowness of 64bit addressing....
AMD did a big cleanup , the 64bit code benefit from this AMD architecture
upgrade but its minimal overall.
just one little step forward. Might as well take it if you have a 64bit
porcessor and 4gig of ram
