“Vintage” 64 bit PC’s aren’t a thing.

> Edit: I understand a motivation if it is on simplicity choosing one or the other, but other than that I don't see why that should ever be a goal worthy to be pursued. Software should really "just work" no matter the number of bits and bytes.

Not really how software works.

Just sold my SGI Indigo 2 for 900 $ ! Vintage 64 bit is absolutely a thing. :-)

		Whilst that’s definitely old in computer terms, even “retro”, is it old enough to be “vintage”? Personally I’d have said it isn’t. But these terms are subjective.
