Not that I'm aware of, but things do progress. Otherwise, we'd still all be
running computers on 8-bit hardware with CLI, and counting ram in Kbytes. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Man-wai Chang" wrote in message ...

You seem to be very critical of Vista but don't offer an alternative. Can
you enlighten us how other OS' solve this 32/64 bit conundrum? I see you use Linux. How does it deal with his? "Man-wai Chang" wrote in message ... Should I think this way? -- .~.

No, you should not think this way at all. There is not a
direct correlation between 32-bit PCI and 64-bit drivers. The 32-bit PCI is a hardware capability/configuration and a 64-bit driver is for a 64-bit operating system. A 32-bit PCI card can operate in any OS; 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit, or even 128-bit; with the appropriate drivers for the OS. Man-wai Chang wrote: Should I think this way? |
