fleurya - I tihnk what they mean by it is that theres the 64bit version, also install it on your 32bit hardware
What you have with Vista is 32bit Vista and 64bit Vista
I think the whole claim is playing on the fact that there is a 32bit version of Vista for the 32bit hardware, something that still happens with many linux distros.
You'll download the 64 build for your AMD64
but for your old pentum 4 D you'll download the 32 build
It sounds good, sure - but I'd find it hard to be confused when trying to pick which version of an OS
The real advantage is that things are going 64bit
Using more than 2GB of RAM per application.. I can't wait and effectivly usign more than 4GB in a system (Can't remember how well Tiger handled that one)
Thats a peeve about the current iMac, Leopard is 64bit, I want to run two aplpications, each using 2GB of RAM but I take away my music player, the OS, a web broswer etc and i've oly got 512 of RAM out of my 3GB left
