WinSmith, Re: Going past 64 bits, I just can't see it being worthwhile without some kind of totally new computing paradigm. I normally respect your opinions. With those of a very few others on this thread. I may be able to name 10, but I'm not going to. A question I'd come up with is "Why do you think the video guys went to 128 bits if not for added performance"? And another one I'd come up with would be "Why do you think presenting screen shots needs more bits than running the computer"? And I'll sure respect your opinion if you come up with a couple decent answers. But I think, if you look at the question for a while, from a couple different directions, you'll come to the conclusion that 256 bit computing(or better) is a shoe-in by 2040. tgptndr
