What you say is largely correct. There are very few 64-bit programs
yet. That means that the advantage of 64-bit Windows is mostly
*potential* right now. I think it's good to be running 64-bit Windows
instead of 32-bit Windows, because it lets you buy and install 64-bit
software as it becomes available in the future (and almost certainly,
we will all start seeing more and more of this very soon). But don't
expect much of a performance increase until you start running 64-bit
software.

Open Task Manager and look at the Processes tab. 32-bit processes
are suffexed with "*32". Everything else is 64-bit.

Why did you not quote Ken Blake on that?
He said that in the same thread, you friggen moron.

You can bet if spelling errors are less than 30% in his posting, it's
plagiarized.
