I would hate to see the day that parts can only be bought from your computer manufacturer. It is bad enough that we are progressing so quickly and computers are outdated within a few years.

About that, Sony does that already. Fans, PSUs, HDDs, ODDs, Screens, nearly every part of a Sony laptop and desktop is proprietary.

After all what is the maximum memory for the 64bit anyway (2 ^ 64 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 //// 18,446,744 TB of Memory).

Other than memory issues what other advantages would there be to a 128bit OS?
besides server applications in super computers nothing. but the W8 leading to a 128bit systems means there has been a major break through in a Quantom computer especially adapting it to a analog computer liek our 32bit and 64 bit systems........

the 128bit system is only seen in GPU's and servers from my experience so far. to see a 128bit processor would be nice. does any one have any specs on a 128 bit computer ?




another reason for a 128bit computer owuld be a media server streaming to 10 computers at once other then that the proc speed and capabilities no average user would ever max out the peformance of lets say a 3.2Ghz 128Bit system with lets say 8Gigs ram and a 2Gig video card........... there is nothing a single ( average user not liek some of us Technophiles) user could possibly do to use the system at full function

I can't wait for 1million bit. I hear, your computer will load in less then a 1/16 of a second and Bill Gate's personally jumps out of you PC's screen, slaps you in the face calls you a bad name, then disappears into a vortex of whimsical alien computer black mass.

It still saddens me that 64 bit has been out for how long now, and it is just now becoming more and more of peoples everyday live's. It's like knowing about automobiles for years and years and saying," Wait what? Get to somewhere quicker? Why on earth would I want to do that?".

mattweed9, you're right. 64 bit has been here for so long, yet we have so few programs to take advantage of it. And some of those that are available are being complained about. After all this time, why don't we have an Adobe Reader in 64 bit?

All this complaining about 64-Bit browsing not supporting flash. Really what is there to gain by using a 64-Bit browser? What difference does it make if your computer can process a browser window quicker when it is handicaped by ISP bandwidth? Thats about the same as having a sports car that has a governer under the hood regulating the RPM,s and speed. Unless you have a super fast internet connection it really doesn't matter if you use 32-Bit or 64-Bit.

If 64-bit is such an obvious move, why is it taking the industry so long to catch up with the infrastructure. Imagine not only a new and faster car, but one that could only use compatible fuel. So it's more than just sticking up the bit-age. However, I'm getting plain sick of winXP and 32-bit anything, hence my latest, and of yet, unsuccessful, venture into Win7 x64, and my discovery of this forum.

I do find it funny that GPUs are moving up the bitscale so quickly.

GPUs are actually much more powerful than central processors, but their made in such a way that they cannot be converted into CPUs, although I have heard talk that nVidia are giving it a shot.

Despite everything, I think if everyone got Windows 7 64-bit and Office 2007 then the world would be a better place. That way, people would stop whining about compatibility issues and the like. too many people get attached to things and then refuse to move on because their scared of what the future might hold.

Sycthus, I have both programs that you're talking about, but have found so far that 32 bit programs are more plentiful and have more features.
