the only benefit i can see you getting out of it is in its floating point, witch is sopost too be alot more efficient then in their past cpus.
It's not only more efficient, it's more accurate, especially when dealing with floating point math. But like one 10 billionth of a percent is going to make much of a difference.
Then again, drawing upon Superman III as inspiration, those small fractions can add up to a lot. :)

Anyone else got an opinion, I know theres more techies play EvE than most MMO's
And this is probably one of the reasons Oveur's hair is falling out. Or maybe it's that naturally receding Caldari hairline.

That has got to be the basis of the next pure WinterBink classic

I think he might hurt me severely if I did a comic showing what he looks like without his Fedo-fur toupee

I honestly dont know if I should respond to that, lest I feel the wrath of Oveur. But possibly just possibly Ovuer has a comment about a 64bit client or even 64 bit serverside (note the subtle move back on topic, maybe I would make a good forum mod )

But I highly doubt you'll see non-64-bit support droping out because of Longhorn. If that were to happen, the effect would be akin to dropping bag after bag of 100% Real Manure into an industrial wood chipper aimed at a massive crowd of software developers.
Alot of people said the same thing about the move from 8-bit to 16-bit. "Don't worry" they said. "We'll keep making games for your Commodore 64 for a long time yet, your investment is safe."
The switchover took, oh, about a year. Tops.
Now, I'm not stupid enough to think that game companies will move over to 64-bit immediately, as the technology leap is not so great in comparative terms, but neither should you think for one minute that they'll just carry on regardless in 32-bit ad-infinitum.
I'd like to see a 64-bit version of EVE. But then I'd like to see a Linux version, or a .NET version, or a PocketPC version. But I agree with others that the priority should be to get the game fixed & bug free first.

The future of computing seems to be heading in the multi-core direction. It would be interesting to see whether eve progresses towards being a multithreaded application as the future at the moment has moved on from getting faster to having more cores. AMD and intel have both started shipping dual core processors and have announced quad cores slated for Q206 release. It has also been shown in benchmarks that EVE is highly CPU limited. Upgrade to Geforce 7800 from a 6800 only gives a 4 fps increase :P.

Recompiling my Gentoo installation on my Athlon64 FX from 32 bit to 64 bit gave me quite a boost in general performance. Cedega executes windows apps faster even, including EVE to some extent.

I run X64, but I can't see how a 64bit client would show a performance improvement.
More CPU registers translates in more performance, since less memory I/O is required.
