  - It's not unmanageable, they've been doing it for years. They're just converting business models - manualAvant 2016-01-25 08:10:16 (197 views)
    - I wouldn't quite say it's "unmanageable" - Tanner 2016-01-25 09:38:37 (218 views)
      - The days we are on 64 bit we will see an push to 128 bit ;-)  -  Egil - The Silver Fox  2016-01-25 20:45:54 (157 views)
        
        I wouldn't say never, but I would say not for a long time.  -  manualAvant  2016-01-25 21:26:14 (181 views)
        
        The architecture is out there. I would not go by past time lines   -  Egil - The Silver Fox  2016-01-25 23:12:38 (157 views)
        
        The most compelling purpose of the 64-bit transition was not having to use PAE. That's it.  -  manualAvant  2016-01-26 00:25:13 (174 views)
        
        RAM was a big push to 64bit but there are still a scientific need for a 'personal' super computer.  -  Egil - The Silver Fox  2016-01-26 03:23:01 (166 views)
        
        Sure, 64-bit Alpha predates Opteron by over a decade but Windows didn't run 64-bit on them  -  manualAvant  2016-01-26 10:12:13 (162 views)

- Guess they are having trouble in moving people to 10 - Egil - The Silver Fox 2016-01-18 16:18:40 (169 views)
  - I think that is wrong - It seems that it is a faster conversion than any other update - Reggie 2016-01-20 17:02:17 (161 views)
    - IMO, incorrectly assigning reasoning behind conversion rate - manualAvant 2016-01-20 18:45:42 (176 views)
    - So why the push? - Egil - The Silver Fox 2016-01-20 17:05:41 (193 views)
      - May be some validity with future OS depending on features on the chip - Tanner 2016-01-21 07:40:47 (165 views)
