Quoting: GuestI thought your comment was odd heh, I always remember 64bit being better than 32bit. It is not just more RAM that makes it worthwhile.Quoting: liamdaweAlso, I can't say i've heard of 32bit programs being faster than 64bit?I was sure I had seen benchmarks showing that 32 bit was faster for a significant number of programs, but a phoronix search showed this http://www.phoronix.com [External Link]/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1210_3264&num=1 where 64 bit is indeed almost always faster by a significant margin. So looks like I was wrong.

Quoting: GuestWhy the hate for 32 bit? 32 bit programs are often faster, and use less RAM than 64 bit ones. Besides, who cares? Both work perfectly fine. (And yes, I do have a 32 bit processor in one of my computers.)Not hate, but 64bit only in the future is inevitable as games grow. It can also create issues for some developers having to support both.

Quoting: adolsonI don't.Quoting: liamdaweDon't buy them?Quoting: adolsonEh... It seems kinda silly to complain about having yet another game in any given genre, regardless of saturation level. Especially on Linux.I completely disagree, we have a massive library of games now and it is easy to get bored when a vast majority of them have very similar game-play - platformers.

Quoting: edgleyNow, correct me if I'm wrong but, the totals leave 0.10% unaccounted for?These are the proper totals, including what was originally in "Other" since they took it out.
