Finally! 64 bit Chrome!

Maybe it's just me but I have been waiting for this for quite some time.

Now I can get rid of 32bit Java

Took its sweet time, although I have to wait until November to upgrade it on my MacBook.

What benefits would this give you(us)?

Taken from - http://www.extremetech.com/computin...o-download-faster-more-secure-twice-as-stable

"Some tasks, such as decoding HD video on YouTube, are 15% faster under the 64-bit version of Chrome" and
"Google says it sees an average improvement of 25% in graphics and multimedia content."

As well as having the potential to be more secure against certain types of attacks.

Meh, any word if they're going to fix the memory leaks? Chrome sucks in that regard.

Mainly I can (and already have) removed 32bit java from my rig. So now I know any java based program will be using the faster 64bit version I have installed. Like Minecraft

That and it seems dumb to have a 64bit CPU, 64bit drivers and 64bit OS only to run a 32bit browser lol.

Hmm? I haven't noticed anything like that and Chrome is always open with 30+ tabs at once..

You know that you can manually set which Java install Minecraft uses, correct?

Indeed I have set that.
However I saw an FPS drop after I installed 32bit Java and a re-boot.

I just assumed from there it was a Minecraft glitch

It may have defaulted back to 32-bit due to seeing the new install of Java.

That would make sense since I installed 64bit first...
I guess it's not an issue since I nuked 32bit java now
