Flamebait? Typical Slashdot. Say something critical of Linux, Free Software or AMD (which, for some reason, is seen as a "good company" even though they aim at ripping off the consumer as much as any business) and you get moderated down.
Why isn't the parent post moderated down? It's biased and untrue?
So why do I need 64bits?

99.99% of everything my computers does is <32 bits. So if I get a 64 bit cpu, does that mean that my computer can slag around extra unused bits just for fun?
