64-bit PTR Client

Dresorull posted:
A 64-bit client is now available for use with the 4.3.2 PTR. You can download it at the link below, unzip it into your PTR directory, and then run the executable to test it.
- The 64-bit client is being distributed separately from the PTR as it is not yet supported for use with World of Warcraft.
- This can only be used with the 4.3.2 PTR, it is not to be used with the live version of the game.
- A Mac version is not available yet, though we are working on one and plan for it to be available in the near future.
- The game?s built in voice chat does not currently work in the 64-bit client.

If you encounter any issues while using the 64-bit version, please report your findings in the PTR bug report forum (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/2359401/ ), and return to using the 32-bit executable.

I suppose the obvious question is what the benefit of a 64 bit client would be.
( "32 more bits, duh!" )
I don't have stability issues now. The only issue I really have is sustained particle effects in very tight 25 man fights or just walking through Dalaran, but those aren't even worth turning down my graphics for.

Even for those, it doesn't change much. If you have a 64 bit OS, each 32 bit program has his own full 4 gigabyte address space.

Not every game has the 4GB Switch turned on. Skyrim for example did not until the latest patch (there was a user made mod you could use, however).

Currently in the MMO unemployment line.
Can I get $15/month for not playing them?

Is there a list of command line switches/parameters for WoW to optimize game play?

I was wondering if it helps in any way to have a 64bit client? Aside from ram use.

The only thing I can see being of benefit to a 64bit client is not having to use WOW64. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOW64
Not that I've had any issues running 5+ clients on one x64 PC. /shrug
