[Insight-users] ITK build on Win64

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Zein,

Congratulation on your new 64bits machine !

1) A 32-bits binary build should work fine
    when copied into a 64-bits machine.

    It is, however, a sad waste of the money
    that you paid for the 64bits machine.

2) ITK compiles and runs fine in 64bits
    platforms.

    *and* it takes advantage of the larger
    memory addressing capacity.

    So, recompiling ITK in your 64bits
    computer is certainly worthwile.

    you can now go greedy with allocating
    large images  :-)


3) Performance, as computation time
    will probably not change much.


   Regards,


       Luis
