Re: It is an argument against your position. 64-bits is useful
as I've pointed out many times. But perhaps you don't understand
that from an engineering point of view.
So either you do not understand my position, or you are disingenuously twisting my consumer oriented position to one of an engineering point of view. Or maybe you just don't understand the difference between someone buying a laptop for home use and someone needing a laptop to write and compile next generation applications (that is your job, right?).
Re: Yes, but you will have to rethink the decision in a year.
Do you really want to buy a system where you don't have the
choice to go 64-bits when you have to make an operating
system decision in a year?
Yes, yes... but as I already pointed out, the same can be said for dual core technology. Buy a single core Turion today, and you miss out on all the performance prospects of multithreaded environments, which benchmarks have shown can already offer dramatic improvements. And for what...? 64-bits has very little demonstratable advantage today, and we are in no danger of missing out on important application features in the near future, since all 64-bit apps over the next few years will sport 32-bit versions.
