After u mentioned it I read a bit about 64bit processing and felt that it's still not ready for prime time.

If anything I would trust winxp 64bit over linux distros that claim to be 64bit.

The main trouble is that developers are too lazy to redevelop for the 64bit platform they tend to just shoove things out of the door by recompiling 32 bit -> 64bit with the effect that it gives the same and in most case worse performance than the orginal 32bit app.

Its a shame really as ultimately 64bit is the future.
