Windows XP 64-bit
« on: January 01, 2006, 08:36:24 pm »
Hello, I would like to see EA ported to a 64-bit OS.  Does anyone know if there are any plans to do this?

Thanks!

Why? As Win still emulates 16 bit applications, Win64 will emulate 32 bit for sure...

Hi Thomas, to take advantage of the 64-bit architecture and hopefully, improved system performance.

Hi Tim,

in the next years it will probably not give  Sparx EA as an Win64 - Application because there is no sales market for it
