Until further notice yes. I suppose they'll drop the support eventually (like 16->32 bit), but it would take many years, since there are lots of 32-bit apps floating around. > Thing is, a 64bit binary will use a lot more memory than a 32bit one, > mainly because all pointers are double the size.

As I wrote before, I'm managed code guy, so I don't have much knowledge about if it makes sense, do it's up to you. The "common sense" says that's good to run app in native architecture, but it's probably no big deal. -- Altair _______________________________________________ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
