[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1291984, member: 141969"] I don't agree with this. :( Although I now use 64-bit Windows 7, I changed from 32-bit Windows 7 only a couple of years ago. Prior to that my Dell HTPC had only 3GB of RAM, so not suitable for 64-bit Windows. However, MP ran quite happily with only 3GB on 32-bit Windows. I now have 7GB of RAM with 64-bit Windows, and to be honest I have not noticed any difference compared to 3GB of RAM with 32-bit Windows. I recognise that maintaining the codebase so that it can be used to generate both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MP will be more complicated, but I think that we should continue to support 32-bit for the foreseeable future. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
