	AMD just came out with their first 64bit processor. It can run both
32 and 64 bit code. However, what would be the advantages (if any) of making
a 64 bit version of blender? I know for some graphics applications (such as
Half-Life) it makes enough of a difference to warrant support. Apparently
the new Half-Life Servers will all be 64 bit.

	Just an idea,

		Timothy
