Once in a while NI gets comments such as the following found here: A Closer Look at 32-Bit vs. 64-Bit Windows - May 27, 2011 Wrong!I am sick and tired of misinformation being spread around the internet by self- appointed 'experts' in the field, who have a scarry half-truth knoledge of whats really going on!... in this article.....First of all, 64 bit operating systems will ALWAYS out perform a 32 bit system... There is a DOUBLING of data flow....Therefore a halving of speed.......Duh!..... Double the resource flow, divide the time....=faster....Why some people refuse to believe this is beyond me...the facts are out there....Mathamatically intensive programs used to require a math co-processor upgrade to perform well....Not true today...ANY of todays processors will be far more than needed for any 'math' needs Mhz are needed....not math capibilities.....So stop it!....If you don't know what you're talking about, keep your mouth shut....Get another hobby, you are obviously not very good at computers. So stop spreading your weak half-baked knoledge around. Does it make you feel good to pretend that you know something? Now, this guy is delusional beyond belief and does not understand that 64 bit refers to the address size, which has nothing to do with how much data is moved at a time. I wonder if there should be a clarifying response in order not to confuse the readers or is it obvous to most that this guy is full of hot air? Given the high chances that he's just a troll, responding in the thread might just be what he wants. Should NI delete misleading comments, especially if they use degrading and foul language? (Of course his accidental backwards statement that a doubling of dataflow equates to halving of the speed reminds me of a student who wrote long ago in his report that he did signal averaging to reduce the signal/noise :D)

And you could have rescued the "Bow Bunny"!
