Promoting i386 version over x86_64?

[Ikem Krueger]

>> Why then should someone prefer 64bit over 32bit?

> 4 Reasons:

> 1: Date/Time stamp, Unix time doesn't work in 32-bit past 2038 (not really affecting us much, most of us will replace our PCs long before then)

What do the people with 32bit cpus who won't/can't upgrade?

> 2: Access more than 4GB of RAM (definitely becoming increasingly important)

I hope for the apps, not for the system. I don't want to become Linux
the next Vista..

> 3: Enhanced performance-critical computational capabilities (if you do a lot of complex HD photo, HD video, or HD audio work, or if you do a lot of raw complex math on your computer, this is EXTREMELY important)

> 4: Better virtual machine performance

Thanks for the answer. :)
