yup and install is now NOT only giving 64bits instruction capabilities to their PENTIUM cpu's the latest Celeron D, processors will also contain the 64bits instruction capabilites

Ar.. damn Intel for releasing this 64bits thingy... ok then, I promise I'll look into it in a couple of months. The problem is that for having 64bits enabled on my computer, I need to change at least the CPU and the motherboard and reinstall Windows.

I'll try to find a 64bits computer that I can borrow for a week or two, if you know anybody in my area, let me know .

i do believe that blade ran msgplus on 64bit fine

yea but it prob ran in 32 bit mode or whatever AFAIK 64bit CPUs can run 32 bit apps

I got a 64bit processor but all my software is 32bit :/

AMD64 chips can run 32-bit x86 code natively, and Intel's EM64T chips will also.
And you'll probably find that WinXP 64 has a 'Run in 32-bit mode' for programs like Plus!, that rely on the bitness of the PC.

well yeah it does run, yet if you see my list of win32 program i thing runnig all things in 64bits mode will be much better, and heck if the main code is atm compatible, it migt doesnt need much changes to be comatible with ms longhorn, cuz twith that one a new msn will be out deffenatly...

Making Plus! 64bits compatible won't be very difficult, it's just that I can't do it if I can't test it myself. Also, note that when this wll be done, the code will be 64bits compatible but will still be distributed in 32bits binaries. For a program like Plus!, compiling everything in 64bits wouldn't be much of an advantage and you wouldn't notice any difference in speed anyway.

Depends how many 64-bit ops you're doing

Exactly... the only stuff that's managed as 64bits is the sound IDs and the way they are calculated wouldn't benefit from a big 64bits integer, so, no gain .
