ROCO*AFZ* Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 http://www.neowin.net/news/adobe-releases-64-bit-flash-for-windows-mac--linux Remember... this is beta, but Youtube is working great and some other sites that i go to that uses flash. Definately a speed increase even with IE8 Woot! been 7 years waiting for this (XP 64bit). I guess html5 finally got it moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR6 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Funny thing is how many people use 64-bit browsers? Even with Win7 I'm betting the majority of people still use the 32-bit version of IE. In fact, some people might not even be aware that the 64-bit version is sitting in their Start menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCO*AFZ* Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 That is because tech's won't recommend it, because it won't show flash which many sites have. I have to say the 64bit is way faster then the 32 now that i myself am using it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly2442 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Firefox still has 32 bit builds right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanMF Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 As far as I know, both Firefox and Chrome are both still 32-bit only on Windows. But really it makes no difference either way - 64-bit applications don't run any better than 32-bit ones. They can just use more memory. The only programs that really benefit are those that deal with huge amounts of data - database servers, video editing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCO*AFZ* Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 Try the 64bit IE... there is definatly a noticeable difference. Always was... but now with flash it's useful. Same with 64bit windows 7 over 32 (if you have over 2gb of ram) If you google around you will see that i am not the only one seeing this.

MeanMF Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I really can't tell the difference between the two.. In any case, I switched to Chrome recently which completely blows them both away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
