From AMD's Website,== "The evolution from 32-bit computing to 64-bit computing is inevitable and will happen much faster than the transition from 16-bit to 32-bit. AMD64 can accelerate the industrys move to 64-bit computing by providing a solution developed with customers in mind. AMDs approach embraces the platforms and applications already in use in business and home computing today and offers a way to make a smooth transition to next-generation technology by allowing simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing. AMD64 enables a seamless transition for enterprises and consumers; it is designed to provide a migration to 64-bit computing without sacrificing the performance and compatibility of todays installed base of 32-bit systems." Microsoft will be releasing an XP Windows 64 bit OS version this year, perhaps as early as this summer. There is already a free Beta available now, but with limited 3rd party driver support. AMD's chips are also supported by Linux and other Unix flavors, meaning that a 64 bit Linux Version of Daz Studio 64 could be a real potential app also down the road. And AMD's Athlon 64 series is surprisingly affordable along with the greatly reduced cost of today's RAM chips and motherboards.
