I get to the messages as I see them, if the issue is hard to replicate or some effort to diag, then my response is slow... But this area has been discussed at length throughout the forum. The 64 vs 32 is a kind of a red herring, in theory 64bit is going to be faster, but on the code books it doesn't make much difference atm. A proper developer weighed in on this in another thread and had tested an Alpha 64 bit build without any reasonable performance diffs, at least that would justify re-writing the entire code base across multiple platforms; so until we get a lot more volunteer capable coders, the road map is for the future.

I put a lot of blame on the graphic hardware industry, and it would seem their hidden agenda to get consumers to buy more, their acceleration chips should follow guidelines instead of cutting corners with new drivers and making older cards dead weight.
