Is there an advantage to using a 64 bit browser? As someone running

>>59988431
Use all of your ram

>>59988431
Yes, see: >>>59972438

>>59988541
that's not 32 vs 64bit. That is mulithreading vs single threading

>>59988431
64 bit is twice as fast as 32 bit

On Linux the system is usually one or the other but not both. Using 32bit would mean basically downloading an entire other OS plus it's an unneeded security risk. Windows ships with both subsystems regardless so there's no actual incentive to drop 32bit other than performance

Besides the obvious benefit of having more address space available, 64 bit also has more registers available, which could translate into a performance boost. You'd probably need to look at some benchmarks to tell the difference though.

Something doesn't add up here...

>>59988763
Where on his post he mentioned anything about speed? Something doesn't add up because if you can't fucking read, much less add or subtract.

64-bit is a jewish meme which allows for programs to waste more memory forcing you to fall for >8GB meme

are you fucking retaredd or waht

In general 64bit is an improvement over 32bit. Pretty much just go with 64bit whenever you can.

To get more into detail:
64bit binaries are larger, using up to 33% more storage and memory. Normally this would be a complete negative but x86-64 adds 8 more general purpose registers and newer instruction set extensions to the ISA. If you target x86-64 your code will be more efficient than i686 compatible code which lacks those things. On systems with a significant memory bottleneck the additional registers and stuff doesn't affect performance as much as the additional memory usage. The 64bit binaries use up more cache and can negatively affect performance by quite a bit. In this one particular area 32bit is better but this isn't really typical on a desktop or even a laptop. More like an ancient netbook.

Keep being a retard; it suits you.

>>59988887
Yes I am implying that. What is wrong with you that you have to reaffirm what I just said? What are you fucking gay or something?

>>59988831
are you? unless your google and host petabytes of bandwidth at a time you literally cannot justify a program to waste more than 2GB of memory on ones and zeros

>>59988908
pls dont ever post on /g/ again

>>59988556
the point is the 32bit would crash on using about 3GB ram.

Also there is some security stuff thats better in 64-bit, and we all want to ditch 32bit anyway

>>59988431
If you keep 100 tabs open, then 64 bit will make a day and night difference. Otherwise, not so much.

Out-fucking-standing argumentative skills, mate.

I fucked up the replying. Anyway, this was for you:

lol you can't even reply correctly, and you think your opinion about computers matters
