New PC?

I was wondering if it would be worth buying another 64-bit chip rather than a 32-bit chip despite the fact that there isn't a Windows OS that supports it yet.

According to this benchmark, the 64-bit chip does out perform it's 32-bit brother.

...now where's my credit card...

I spent most of the weekend lazing around and enjoying not being at work (well... in between running around in the tech support hat).

This weekend we managed two fresh XP installations, one fried DVD ROM and IDE channel, a RAM upgrade (and downgrade for the machine that we cannibalized it from) and added an old Win 98 machine onto our network (which we're still undecided what to do with but at least it's there).



Things should run smoothly next time people pop around to play a few network games *grin*. I think we've got everything set up properly now.

so my understanding is that not only do few if any machines support this 64-bit piece of architecture, there isn't any software which can take advantage of it either.

My advice would be to stick with the 32 and use that credit card for more fun gadgets :)
