I have done some clustring project for several universities and research centers using 64-bit processors and after all I should say:<br />you can't see any performance gain in 64-bit domain if you do not really need it. <br />So your teacher was in wrong way in 64-bit computing :)<br /><br />Take careAlireza Haghdoosthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11019963008669563400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7524070757190365248.post-21134136660760097652009-03-02T12:23:39.634-08:002009-03-02T12:23:39.634-08:00You've made a few mistakes, you can have much larger files than you mention on a 32 bits system, I have here a file which is bigger than 220 GB on a 32 bit Linux system ;) And the story about the memory is also incorrect (Hint: search for PAE ;) ) And Compiz is working perfect for the last year here on all of my 64 BIT systems..Dwaalspoorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09612874949550058068noreply@blogger.com
