    Question 64bit browsing - anyone trying?

    Today, we look at IE9 Beta (x86-64) vs. (x86) performance benchmarks. With the recent Flash Player release for 64 bit systems, it?s time to find out, how good (or not) 64-bit web browser really is.

    System:
    Intel Core2Duo E6750 @ 2.6 GHz
    4 GB RAM

    Software:
    Windows 7
    Internet Explorer 9 Beta

    The latest 64bit Firefox Minefield build just crashes repetitively (on a fresh Win 7 64bit install). IE9 is working nicely though, surprisingly.

    Big jump there, but Firefox is being slowed by things other than Javascript - primarily its interface.
