64-bit goodness Dec 23 2005

Here is some excellent news, some decent support for 64-bit at long last! I logged into Steam this morning, and was informed that it will detect when you are running a 64-bit native OS, and execute the appropriate version of the Source engine. Pretty cool stuff - I’m running an AMD64, but using the Win32 version of XP because of a lack of 64-bit Wireless drivers. If this gets resolved, I’ll be a 64-bit convert I think, and HL2 will be the first app to take full advantage of my CPU ;-)
