because i have the 64 bit os. My hope is that if its .net (which i think it is) that it would reduce some of the burden on the os displaying and doing work on the framework even if the hash algorithm isn't optimized for 64bits yet.4 b

in anycase 64bit is the way of the future might as well start programing for it now. I have seen several reports that windows 8 will have a build for 128bit architecture

Any idea when a release version of
Bitcoin will come out in a 64-bit version?

thanks
