On my computer most memory hungry apps are browsers.

And by the way I use opera to open a lot of tabs and it handles those very well (compared with other browsers)



Right, but 64-bit computing isn't a magic bullet that speeds everything up. As gcp stated, there are both benefits and drawbacks.


Although it does break that annoying 4,294,967,296 open tabs limit!


This is nowhere near realistic. Opera's performance degrades linearly after the first 10000 tabs.


Do you have the 16bit build?
