Yes there is. But it's not much of a good product.

But many programs are not compatible with 64 , i think 32 bit is also called x84 or something!

**Chef** · 14-05-2009, 02:47 PM

Yep 32 Bit is also known as x86.....64 Bit is x64. And also...most things are supported by 64 Bit platforms now...games, most programs and drivers as well. Because our future will be 64 Bit only soon, its just a matter of time till Business companies still using 16 Bit coded apps change to 32 Bit. Then it will be 64 Bit!
