Right now, you don't get much speed advantage with 64-bit CPU's because current software doesn't require anything beyond the 4GB limit anyway, and let's face, most users are not even at the limit for 32-bit memory right now. It is nice that 64-bit CPU's will allow PC's that go past the 4GB barrier, but personally I doubt there are too many users pushing against that barrier right now. 64-bit CPU's are a solution looking for a problem. I mean seriously, how many gamers do you know that have 4GB of RAM in their PC? -- ***Free Your Mind*** Posted with JSNewsreader-BETA 0.9.4.392 |

First thing that comes to mind is the extra register, which means less use of
the stack hence faster code. Dennis Landi writes: Quote"Captain Jake" <jake[nospam]@jsnewsreader.com>writes To email me remove the obvious |

I now agree with the one who said that all posts on this topic, ALL posts,
ought to be canceled. Don't bother replying to this message, unless it does something for your ego. I am not reading any more of your worthless "dribble" on this topic. -- ***Free Your Mind*** Posted with JSNewsreader-BETA 0.9.4.394 |

QuoteI now agree with the one who said that all posts on this topic, ALL arguing about how it took 11 years for a 32-bit Delphi to arrive after the introduction of the first 32-bit processor? If we were debating when I should get up in the morning to go out and buy an espresso, it'd be as if you were asking what my birthdate was. What does it matter? The introduction of the 386 in relation to when a 32-bit Delphi was produced is *irrelevant*. The better thing to go by is when the 32-bit OS which Delphi supported was launched-- that'd be Windows '95. Will -- Want native support in Delphi for AMD64/EM64T?
