Thrax was right, I agree with him. I had already gone through a download test to see if it were faster. It's no faster. I guess the only thing remaining to be seen is the video quality, once Flash is released for 64 bit IE. If it's no better, then I don't even see the point of why the 64 bit shortcut in the start menu was provided. Since I've been here, and had a 64 bit desktop, I'm beginning to wonder if these 32 vs 64 bit threads has merit after all. Since we don't have the features, the promised speed, and there's so many hardware issues, it would have been better had 32 bit, 3GB desktops and laptops been built for Windows 7. While no one held a gun to our heads and forced us to buy anything, those of us who wanted a new computer had no choice as to bit preference. We could have saved a little cash too, in not having to pay for this hardware that we can't have the full advantage of. I could have done just as much, with the same speed, with a 32 bit, 3GB desktop, versus this 64 bit, 4GB desktop. I have no doubt in my mind in that regard. 64 bit should have remained an option for power users and businesses. The only thing that shoving 64 bit computers down everyone's throats did was cause many problems and issues for many users, as we've all read on this forum. Millions of dollars of printers, scanners, cameras and software would still be perfectly functional, had we been given a choice in the matter. And Flash would not be an issue, either. All of these computers have been built, and the OEM's and Microsoft phones are ringing off the wall, no wonder they introduced "chat service", instead of personal, for I'm positive they are being cursed out daily for producing an unfinished product.
