Beyond that, is there any other advantage(s) to using
a x64 OS other
than RAM access beyond 4gb? Is there any 32 bit OS performance
degradation when installed on a x64 machine?
audio applications benefit from the increased number of available
registers ... e.g. biquad filters can be computed entirely in registers
without moving temporal data to the stack ...
with my performance system (combination of supercollider and nova), i
experienced a speedup of about 30%, when switching from an ia32 to an
x86_64 system ...
