Yep, that’s my conclusion as well. I was hoping for some 64 bit speed up, but nope. If software folks don’t get this squared away, they could queer the market for 64 bit.

I was trying to explore the security implications of VMs used as banking, stocks and other online stuff that is secure. I just started oput with a couple of GB, so I will order up 4 more.

That’s what testing is for.

You using Windows 7 beta?

64-bit was never about more speed. It's a new architecture to deal with greater amounts of memory.

If software folks don’t get this squared away, they could queer the market for 64 bit.

With applications getting larger all the time eventually 64-bit will be the default because accessing more than 4GB of RAM on 32-bit is just too costly. (Processorily speaking)

You using Windows 7 beta?

Didya read my tagline? ;)
