There are already a number of 64-bit clients since it is not exactly new
FWIW, I tried the Solaris 64-bit and it was slower than the 32-bit Solaris version and that was on a SunFire 6800!
Buongiorno all of u guys!
...I was just wondering if there is already a project od developing a client for the 64bit technology. Anyone has got any idea?
And... tell me, what is a poll? I mean... I could post a poll. But... what's that, man?
Ciiiiiiiaooo!

A poll is a way of asking a bunch of people over here about their opinion on a certain subject.
An example of a poll could be:
=================
Are you looking forward to a 64-bit client?
a. No. I don't have any 64 bit machines
b. Yes and make it snappy!
c. No. I'm afraid the results will be disappointing
=================
Then we can all vote and we will know how people think about your question

Capisco, capisco, thanks!!
... I'm still in doubt about the 64bit. I didn't explain me well!
I was thinking about the new cpus of amd, which are working@64 bit. I don't think they will be slower than a 32 bit... why should they? If it happens the client isn't "written" well!!
Or the 64 bit aren't that important in folding... but I don't think so. 64bit should show advantages on every application!I'm wrong?
buona notte!!
The Solaris 64-bit client "proves" that it isn't always better. Of course it could just be badly written but the point of 64-bit vs. 32-bit is that bigger does not guarantee improved performance.
Here is a link to an article that compares the speed of 32-bit and 64-bit code and explains some of the reasons why some 32-bit code is faster.
