Re: [PD] single vs dual vs 64

Hallo, Miller Puckette hat gesagt: // Miller Puckette wrote:

64 bit archs might run slower than 32 bit ones, and anyway Pd can't take advantage of bits 32 through 63 yet (because I haven't bought a 64 bit machine yet and don't know what Pd would have to do to take advantage of 64-ness.)

However the AMD64 CPUs are very fast in 32bit mode, as well, and I think, they even suck less power and thus allow machines which are more quiet. At least to me, a quiet box is important, though I suppose, other musicians see (or hear) this similarily. (And for a quiet machine, the choice of graphics card is an important one as well.)
