Ahh, but you're forgetting the key difference here, 32 vs. 64 bits: 32bit = 4,294,967,296 possible states 64bit = 18,446,744,073,709,551,615, (2^64-1) possible states In each architecture, only one state is correct. Everything else is the wrong one. In other words, getting your application secure is kinda like playing the lottery. 32bit is like instant kiwi, 64bit is like keno. |

I was simply showing that the current X64 is a larger download than the X86 -- Nothing more , nothing less. SP's are generally always going to be larger than the weekly Patches. will it have that phone home thing in it aswell that's caused some problems?? Absolutely no idea - I only got a Email today saying it was available for download, so I downloaded both, just something to play about with on a wet boring day. |

| 1125099 | 2010-08-07 12:42:00 | Why use security patches from MS? If you are concerned about security you certainly wouldn't be using MS any more than you would use it for efficiency. It is a gamer's system, and currently quite a good one. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1125100 | 2010-08-07 20:16:00 | Bevy 121, I find you remark offence and uncalled for. Did your Mommy not tell you that if you have nothing good to say, keep you mouth shut. SJ has contribute a lot to this forum and been a big help to me personally with his advice. A very valuable member and often the first contributer to bring to our attention something of interest which we would have missed otherwise. |
