Google Chrome OS goes 64bit
An unofficial project to port Googles Chrome OS to 64 bit computers has launched. This will allow Google Chrome OS users to access more than 4Gb of memory.
Using the Chromium OS code that has been open sourced by Google, the ChromiumOS64 project allows people who like a little more RAM to consider the new operating system/browser hybrid concept from Google.
“ChromiumOS64 is an unofficial port of the original Google’s Chromium OS project (when officially released in 2010, it will be called Google Chrome OS) to the x86_64 64-bit architecture,” explains the project lead Teo en Ming on the project website.
“The original Chromium OS project does not support 64-bit platforms. This is because the majority of the netbooks in the market are based on Intel Atom processors, which are mostly 32-bit.”
