The ride was a bumpy one, but hardware manufacturers and software developers alike have finally widely adopted the 64-bit architecture - and there's no turning back now.Īt this point in time, nearly everyone is on the same page about the transition. Windows XP 圆4 never took off, though 64-bit versions of Vista did, thankfully. At that time and even as recently as the introduction of Windows Vista, software and drivers for 64-bit setups were slim-pickings.Īnalogous to the shift from 16 to 32-bit computing, the jump to 64-bit has been a slow one. It feels like just yesterday that Intel and AMD fanboys were at odds over the Athlon 64. This is something that's been asked since the introduction of consumer-level processors bearing the "圆4" nomenclature. With the upcoming release of Windows 7, the question is raised again on whether you should install the 32-bit version (x86) of the operating system or move up to 64-bit (圆4).
