Stop comparing Desktop/Server OS's to Embedded DSP. Apples and oranges. If someone was selling a Desktop or Server. Sure I'd want to hear 64bit. But that's NOT what we are dealing with. We are dealed with embedded OS or custom OS processing audio in real time. Who gives a crap of it's 64bit or 32bit or 16bit. As long as it does what it's supposed to do. Does that mean it will have less jitter? Does that mean it will have less errors? Does your 8bit, 16bit or 32bit embedded DSP systems crash more than a 64bit? It means absolutely NOTHING in embedded DSP world. They don't use Intel x86 or x64 desktop chips for embedded Audio DSP.
