    I've just been checking the flash out on IE 9 64 bit. I'm quite impressed, now if only IE 9 had some decent extensions/add-ons ....

    Better still ... when is Firefox 64 bit going to appear?

    Hopefully FF pushes a 64bit release soon, then the rest follow and the world can slowly move on.

    IE 9 64 bit & Yahoo! Mail:

    You're almost there...

    The newest version of Yahoo! Mail works best on modern browsers. While you can still access basic email functionality like reading and sending email, to access other features like Yahoo! Messenger, photo slideshows, and the reply bar, you'll need to upgrade your browser.

    Upgrading is free and it only takes a few moments:

    Firefox
    Internet Explorer (for Windows)
    Safari
    Not ready to upgrade? Continue anyway     o_O

    It works if you continue anyway! :cool:

    Heh. This is a classic case of websites using browser detection instead of feature detection. It probably hasn't been updated to recognize that IE9 exists yet and gives that error on any "unrecognized" browser.

    Blah, I really hate to switch tracks on this thread, but am I recalling right that IE9 64 doesn't have Protected Mode? I have Sandboxie Free, so I guess it doesn't matter, just curious. I'm glad Flash 64 is here, and I'll be equally glad when all browser vendors bring out 64 bit versions.

    @Daveski: Yahoo needs to worry about getting and keeping money right now rather than spending it to upgrade things :D

    You're remembering wrong, it does have protected mode. What it doesn't have is Chakra, the name of the JavaScript engine in 32bit IE9. But if you don't care about a few milliseconds of speed, you can use IE9 x64 which is more secure than using the 32bit version.

    Does this contain any vulnerability fixes or perhaps new general security improvements?

    I tried to download this version like 5 times now, using a direct link, and I'm getting version number 10.3.183 everytime... o_O

    -edit-

    I finally got to download a version 11 exe, but it appears to be a download manager. It's a 736 KB exe.

    The link is: -http://aihdownload.adobe.com/bin/install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe

    Testing it out now under IE9, and it freezes a lot. Of course the 32 bit version has done this under IE9 as well for me, I don't know why that is. Firefox, Chrome, Opera, they all handle Flash relatively well. Flash aside, I forgot just how blazing fast 64 bit browsing is.

    64bit Flash = 64bit ASLR. That's about it.

    Believe it on not one of the things that can help on lower end systems is the use of Fanboy's TPLs to stop all the extra "stuff" from loading. (no idea what your system is like) If not I'd double check you don't have some other misc addons loaded.

    I'm using the TPLs, actually. My processor is an i3 at 2.93Ghz and my video card is an ATI HD 5570. I've got 6Gb of RAM as well. I guess that might be "low end" now, but surely it can handle Flash? :D As far as add-ons, only Flash, Windows Media Player and XML DOM Document are there, Flash being the only one currently loaded. I've done the standard cache cleaning and all that, and it just doesn't help. It's just running very poorly and I don't feel like refreshing the page every 30 seconds because Flash stopped. Like I said, I had this trouble some in IE9 32 as well, though admittedly not as much as 64 is giving me.
