There has been some rift between Intel and MS over the past
five years regarding archetecture. Of course the hardware guys=20
want to give the optimum capacity to their products. However the=20
software developers are barely compliant with 32 bit=20
archetecture. It will take something more than some guys and=20
10,000 monkeys hammering out code 24/7/365 to keep up with the hardware.
Running 32 bit programs on a 64 bit archetecture does nothing.
