Not much advantage. Prime95 uses floating point arithmetic. 64-bit integer calculations (EM64T) will speed trial factoring but that's all.

Hi All, Was curious if George or someone was going to port the prime95 code into 64 bit arena. AMD has sold its 64 bit instruction set to Intel. And Intel is coming out with EM64T line of processors based on that instruction set soon. http://www.intel.com/technology/64bitextensions/index.htm I was wondering if anyone would care to elaborate on the advantages if any of moving to 64 bit? Thanks All, P.
