    Wow, imagine how many programs you could run at once...

    This makes my upcoming 4gb feel small. I wonder when it's going to be released or more importantly, when <billionaires will be able to buy it

    5 years from now we'll all have them and be complaining that at €200 a stick they are way too expensive :rolleyes:

    I dunno, the saturation of 64-bit OS's is still pretty low. I can't see desktop PC's bothering with them until we start seeing DELLs and prebuilt PC's coming bundled with x64 OS's as standard

    Well the next version of windows will be out in a while.

    I'm sure it will require at least 16 gigs of ram just to boot :D

    Ya, Windows 7 will still have a 32bit version but I honestly doubt you'd run it on less than 4Gb ram

    Waste of time releasing a 32 bit version: any pc made in the last few years that will have the spec to run it will have a 64 bit CPU.

    (if its a 32 bit CPU pc it's prob a bag of sh it that should stick with XP any way....)

    Even the bargin bucket PCs for the last while have had 64bit CPUs ffs.

    this 32/64 bit split is pointless: they should just go 64bit OS for all with backward compatabilty for 32bit apps.
