64-bits: Why You Should Care

snowleopard
AppleInsider is running a very interesting series of articles on Snow Leopard (Apple's next version of OS X) and 64-bit computing. The series is a good read and although a bit technical, it's written in a fashion that even us non-technical types can sort of understand what's going on. The gist of the article posted today is that with 64-bit Snow Leopard apps should run significantly faster. I'm all for faster. You can never be too fast can you? ;)

I wasn't all that excited about the upcoming Snow Leopard because Apple has stated that there will be no new and interesting features and that they're just focusing on improving Leopard. I'm now a little more excited and I bet Apple will include some new features and technologies despite what they've already stated.

So, bring on the SnoCat!
