Hi Tomasz,
I thought that cache was the most important part for running backtests quickly.
What other things will use up non-cache memory? Arrays and indicators in AFL?
Will I definitely need to convert my 5.29 database to 5.22 so that I can use 64
bit AB? What's the best way to do this?
Thanks,
Chris

the latest beta version of 32 bit AmiBroker (5.29.2), but the 64 bit version of
AmiBroker is older (5.22). Does this mean that I cannot use the same database
with these two versions? A new database format was introduced starting with
5.27 beta which is not backward compatible. Is there a plan to update the 64
bit version of AmiBroker to use the newer database format soon?

the point of running 64 bit AB when it can't use more than 4GB of RAM?
