I'm using multilib in Arch just to run muh gaymen through wine-staging because .net doesn't like 64 bit.
i just threw an athlon xp build in the garbage the other day, it was 32 bit.
>>54474394
Ehh I'm using a 32bit laptop and fucker is still live and kicking. Why would I replace this little fucker when it's great for shitposting and web dev?
why is /g/ so slow right now?
>>54474701
Which hospital?
I might have a rootkit for it. Hehe
>>54474701
Are you the one who made that decision? Why the fuck, 64-bit had become the standard long ago even in 2013.
>>54476408
Why would that matter?
>>54476485
pointers are bigger and waste more space
What's wrong with 32 bit?
>>54476495
It's a smaller number than 64.
>2016
Years are going up, so should everything else.
>>54476408
Even windows 10 64 bit works well on 3 GiBs of RAM, even though it uses up ridiculous amounts of memory.
>>54476408
>that gif
wat
>>54476518
32 bit can access RAM up to 32 GB and can handle multi-core processors as well. It also runs java applications faster that 64. Stay uninformed, kiddo.

Do you even do jack shit worthwhile with your "64 bit" cpu?
32 bit has its uses, its not as obsolete as some of you retarded fucks make it out to be.
>>54476906
Why do we have to stop progress? Because some retards think it's enough for the next 2 centuries?
Some need 64bits processors -> others make them -> become better at producing 64bits processors -> no reasons to still split production in 32/64
-> go full 64 -> retards kill themselves because of "muh progress is for sheep" -> everyone else is happy.
You may be talking about embedded or old ass computers and you're right 32bits is not dead but accept the fact that the average desktop/laptop is 64bits because there is no reasons to do otherwise.

>>54476725
No, 32 bit can only access 4 GB of RAM
>>54477638
That's where you're wrong.

>>54476408
x86-64 has twice the general purpose registers compared to IA-32, which is starved for registers, and can waste a good amount of time shuffling them around. It is much, much more worth it to use the 64 bit version, even if you only have around 2 GB of RAM.
>>54474711
Why not just dual boot? Or do vga pass-through?

>he uses a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit CPU
Back in 2012 I was studying to take the GRE, and the study book came with some software that was supposed to contain practice GRE tests. However, I was unable to run it. Every time I tried, it would give an error and tell me I needed to use a 32-bit OS, and I wasn't about to reinstall a 32-bit version of windows just to run fucking GRE practice tests.
They've since put out new versions that don't give that error but it was shitty at the time.

Now I understand.. Nvidia made a 32bit GTX970
>>54480703
Holy shit I audibly chuckled.
>>54480495
I love looking at OS's and distros that discuss dropping i386, and then looking at the rage in the comments. "I can't run this anymore without i386 support!!1111"
>>54480923
Yeah because nobody uses old hardware
>>54480923
>fuck infrastructures using legacy hardware
>muh new hardware
>>54479814
Didn't occur to me at the time.
>>54480923
my laptop is 32bit only... I only need it in the rare cases I do go outside and need a computer to go online for something...
>>54480923
distros include PAE as an option or default. Pentium pro and up will support this.
>>54476851
Show me the way senpai.
Using a 32 bit operating system on a 64 bit platform gives you better temps and lower power consumption since only half of the cpu is utilized.

>>54477638
Nearly Intel processor since the Pentium Pro supports PAE, which allow it to use up to 64GB of RAM.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_Pro
" It also had a wider 36-bit address bus (usable by PAE), allowing it to access up to 64GB of memory."

>mfw you're full of shit.
Laptop I'm using right now shipped with win7-64 and 2GB of RAM. Ran horribly, Couldn't do shit without swapping. Memory consistently pegged at 100%. Installed another 2GB and this helped, but it was still shitty. Yanked the 4GB out and threw in 8GB and now it works well.
>>54478487
Thats too easy, and not the Arch way
