Sixty-four-bit computing is here and available to systems builders now. Although recent advances in 32-bit processors have been impressive, the idea of data coursing through 64-bit wide registers ...

My guess is that this will free up the pent-up demand for 64-bit computing within enterprises. They, too, have been waiting for the 64-bit market to prove itself before making any major commitments.

The article discusses the general idea of 64-bit computing, as well as some of the specifics of AMD's x86-64 ISA, the 64-bit extension to the x86 ISA.

I sincerely doubt 64-bit will become the new megahertz. People recognise more MHz as being good (faster), but I'm not so sure they see the benefits of 64-bit in the same light. The majority of my ...

It is time to start thinking about 64-bit computing with the 64-bit version of Windows Server on the horizon. Here are the top five benefits it can offer. •64-bit processors improve performance ...

Microsoft is working with the industry to transition to 64-bit computing, Muglia said. “We are on the verge of a major platform transition in the server marketplace,” he said.

After a slow start, a larger number of PCs are using the 64-bit version of Windows 7, and the OS will soon become the norm as users move to 64-bit computing, Microsoft said on Thursday.

For 64-bit processors, the computer and applications that support it have the ability to manage numbers that are 64 binary units in length. This allows it to perform computations on integers and ...

After a slow start, a larger number of PCs are using the 64-bit version of Windows 7, and the OS will soon become the norm as users move to 64-bit computing, Microsoft said on Thursday. Around 46 ...

The transition to 64-bit computing could depend largely on trends in memory technology. Currently, the average desktop system has about 512 megabytes of DRAM. To get the most out of 64-bit processors, ...

The clearest impact of 64-bit computing is the ability to deal with more than 4GB of physical memory. However, only the most sophisticated applications and databases are bumping up against this ...

My guess is that this will free up the pent-up demand for 64-bit computing within enterprises. They, too, have been waiting for the 64-bit market to prove itself before making any major commitments.
