Would it be possibel to compile a x86_64 version of TC from scratch?
It it worth trying or would it be impossible?
Also, any chance of adding overflow:auto to the CSS stylesheet for the pre and code areas?

i think you'd have a 64bit os and a collection of 32bit extensions, or i'm just not using my imagination. would you want to recompile every extension you used?

that'd be nice.

Are you talking about your forum theme?

See cross-compilers.

To run a 64-bit os with 32-bit userland is easy, and also the current OS X way (might change in Snow Leopard for all I know).
Just compile a 64-bit kernel and modules, boot TC :)
The advantages on the other hand - more registers, ability to use more ram better. The apps themselves would still be limited to 4gb ram as they are 32-bit apps, but the kernel would use all ram efficiently (unlike with PAE which is slow).
I have so far to see anyone running TC with over 4gb of ram, and the couple extra registers hardly make a difference.

A 64 bit TCL would allow us to run some 64 bit only software.
Stanford's Folding@Home (http://folding.stanford.edu/) is one !
The client is 32 bit ( just needs the ia32-libs to run on Debian AMD64 ) but the mpiexec and the computational cores need 64 bit.
