    Re: Preview of 64-bit version of Flash Player

    Well- I googled "flash benchmark" and ran the first test I found, before and after...

    http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/465908

    before my score was 12239, and after was 15961 and it appeared to use less cpu. It's hard to say because I've got a dual core cpu, and when one bar rises, the other drops, so how do you average?

    I'll try it on some other 64bit computers in the house and see if it's a consistent improvement.

    update-
    tried it out on my son's low spec laptop. In Vista (32bit, I think) it scored 10445. The 32bit ubuntu plugin scored 6194, and the new 64bit plugin scored 8205... It's a step in the right direction...

    Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.

    So this 64 bit flash works better than the nspluginwrapper version?

    This is a nice little bonus, thanks!
    As long as it doesn't turn out to be less stable I'll use this instead of v.10 64 bit with the old security hole.

    For the curious: they aren't calling Square version 10.1, nor 10.2 or whatever comes next, but it sounds like a close cousin of 10.1:
    Is Flash Player “Square” available for all major operating systems?
    Yes. Flash Player “Square” is available for all versions of Windows, Mac OS, and Linux platforms supported by Flash Player 10.1. In addition, it includes native support for 64-bit browsers on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.

    64 Bit Flash is Out!

    No sure which section to put this but as the title says;

    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/

    For all those still faffing with 32 bit flash on 64 bit then this might be the answer. Its a preview release so expect to manually update regularly.

    I've tried it on a few of my usual sites and so far so good.

    To check the version of install go to;

    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

    or type in the address bar;

    Code:
    about:plugins
