[itdiscuss] 64-bit computing

[Michael Sainz]

We're switching from 32-bit to 64-bit with our transition to Windows 7. We're not expecting any issues and I tested pretty well.

I think it's faster than 32bit because there's double the bits...  :)  or is it exponentially double?  :)

We have clients that are 64bit but they are not running any older software and the 32bit interpreter handles the 32bit software fine.  The only issues may be reliable drivers for older printers.

What is everyone's experience with 64-bit computing on a workstation?  I have stayed away from 64-bit workstations in the past to avoid compatibility issues; but I am noticing far more 64-bit systems being sold today, leading me to wonder if 64-bit has become more mainstream recently.  What's your take on 64-bit computing for your users' computers?
