Good, that's settled then.Only downside I can see so far is that my favourite Photoshop plugins won't work in 64bit Photoshop.
*** Yes Slack--Line I know. As a concession to the way of the Penguin I will be turning my oldest over to Linux so I can have a real play with the stuff as a desktop PC.
What hassle? With Win 74 bit I have had no hassles whatsoever.
So spill the spec, I'm in the market for a new PC, looking at cheapo Dell quad cores/4gig on the outlet (£300) or might wait for another Medion deal from Aldi. Hit us with a linky to the one you went for.
