Chip makers AMD and Intel think the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Vista operating system will not take over the enthusiast market in 2007, The Inquirer reports.
“Without an exception, they all think it’s too early and the drivers won’t be that polished for 64 bit either. AMD and Intel have CPUs which can support 64 operating systems but the drivers are still lame, unpolished and slow compared with 32 bit,” the report says.
Intel also said that Vista 32 is fine as it will address 2.75 or 3.25GB from the 4GB of memory, if provided.
