64bit FTW

[chookman]

Not sure if this it the right forum but im sure ill be corrected if it aint.

Found a nice link to an easily understood 64bit vs 32bit article. For the first timers and even the more knowledgable (im hoping im the more knowledgable, but i learnt a few things still)

Should also answer a few of those "Should i go with 64bit" threads before they start. I HOPE!

I've been going the 64-bit way for a while now - it sure rocks to get a 20% performance boost for the price of a little RAM, even out of something as cheapo as a Sempron.

Compounded with the fact that Linux is Plain Fast (tm), that makes a very cheap box work wonders for very little dough.
