Here here ...I do agree with you Anna. Microsoft's lack
of information for solving problems like this ..I was
even more appalled at how they changed the web page about
the worm later in the day.
Anyway ..what you guys needed to know...
32-Bit is the XP version most every home user has.
The 64-bit was developed to run on the new Intel Itanium
2 Processor to meet the demands of technical workstation
users who require large amounts of memory and floating
point performance in areas such as mechanical design and
analysis, 3D animation, video editing and composition,
and scientific and high-performance computing applications
Hence its for the major graphic folks and designer out
there that do this for a living and cost major bucks to
buy.
