[Bioc-devel] Hardware

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

I'm not an expert by any means, but unless you have a fair amount of 
money and a fairly high frustration tolerance for open-source software, 
I'd stick with a 32-bit machine, at least for a couple of iterations of 
R, libraries, compilers, and operating systems.
