The OP wasn't, as far as I could see, making demands - he was asking and it doesn't even seem that strange of a question.

That's pretty rude. You're seem as if he filled his machine with extra RAM to spite you and your unborn.

Dragon - All of them are still here and I am looking at them with greed. Only if someone would confirm that my process is safe, I could venture into 11>0 Eden testing. I love my XBMC Dharma way too much and am totally salvishly devoted to it!!!

No, people ask about 64 bit software because they think "I've got 64 bits!!!!111one", without ever realizing what it actually means or the fact that just because software isn't available as a 64 bit executable really doesn't mean anything performance-wise.

The poster asking about it stated that he has 8GB of RAM and wants XBMC to be able to use it without every really thinking about the fact that XBMC doesn't need that much memory, nor would XBMC's performance actually improve by having a 64b executable. The poster seems to think that a 64b version of XBMC would somehow be "better". That's a mistaken assumption.

Actually, some of the newer CPUs do have some small performance advantage due to their architecture/design when utilizing 64-bit operations internally compared to 32-bit word lengths and thus it's not entirely absurd to want 64-bit versions of programs on these machines.

I can also see how something like XBMC could utilize huge amounts of memory for buffering applications (smooth fast/reverse scanning, instant icon menus that just 'appear' instead of loading, etc.) if one doesn't mind sacrificing resources for speed (probably prudent on a largely single-tasking home theater PC). I doubt XBMC would bother to support such things, but it probably could if someone wanted it to. I keep hoping for such trivial basic features as video tag support, so I wouldn't get my hopes too high.

Regardless, I too find curt responses irritating. People don't need to be rude regardless of how true something may or may not be.
