Re: Is 64 bit that big of a deal? Here's why I ask...

64bit is only tits if you have software written for 64bit. 64bit windows is nice for security and everything, and if you've paid for all your apps to be 64bit... otherwise, some sort of hypervisor and/or the OS basically has to convert the 32bit software to run at 64bit, not really giving you that much performance gain and actually probably runs at a performance deficit (anyone remember NT4 on PowerPC?). if all of your apps are 32bit (and most everything is), then that hoss of a system should be able to kill whatever audio and/or video you throw at it.
