How long until 32-bit is phased out completely now? :)

Whenever the 64bit processors go down in price and everything becomes compatable.

By the way, this is reletively old news :p

I doubt we'll ever see the end of 32-bit systems.  At least, not till our generation dies of old age :)

Old news, Distant posted this like a month ago.

Ontopic: Hmmm.. Too much money for me. I can barely get ~$400 for a new mobo+processor, and these things cost like a thousand.

Haha, maybe it will start in 32 Bit protected mode now for backwards compatibility (kidding of course)
