How fast do they need to go?!' lmao at myself now...

That really was a great article about 64 bit architecture. I learned a lot. Now where can I get me fingers on a copy of Windows 7 RC1?
Thanks much in advance!

I actually remember that my first PC was a 100MHz Hewitt Packard with 1.0125GB hard drive and 16MB RAM and at the time it was top of the line. Amazing that now we have RAM that has more memory than those hard drives. And cell phones that process faster than the pc did.

I never quite understood what was so special about 64 bit until I upgraded to it and now I dont want to go back to anything else.
