From what I see, 64-bit apps are increasing. And we

32-bit apps on 64-bit machines and 64-bit OS's too.
I believe
soon we'd see lot more development in 64-bit apps
since that's
where we are heading.
May be. But isn't it that we are underutilizing the
power of the processor? (alteast when 64-bit apps are
in development?)
Yeah you save on money but at the cost of
performace.
I have heard people compiling Firefox in like 15-20
mins on
C2D e6600 whereas it takes 2.5hrs on my P4 2.0GHz,
even
a 3.0GHz should take around 1.5hrs atleast.
:-o Compiling takes hours on P4's ? (I haven't ever
compiled anything, so don't really know). That would
also depend on the size of the software, if I'm not
wrong.
I personally would go for 64-bit now unless you need
a machine
for wordprocessing and such tasks.
This probably answer's the OP's question better. He
has to define his *daily* tasks or tasks that he's
going to carry out on his computer. The programs that
he's going to use etc.
