Froste: from the sounds, the new producer is highly pissed off at what was done with the first movie and is treating the second as a whole new project... we will see I suppose
2005 is supposed to be the first consumer CMPs (cell micro-processors) and multi-core processors. I think these will have a greater impact than 64-bit will, and if CMPs are as good as Sony is bragging, then it may spur a "gold rush" in the computer industry where everyone and their mother is buying a new PC
not true, that's a MAJOR misconception... 64-bit just means more accurate decimals
the boost in power is minimal.
the power boost you're seeing in 64-bit CPUs is due to the other aspects of the CPU that they've changed, not because of the extra depth of math
