Tbh SLI and stuck around for a bit and was useful before it became obsolete with better hardware, both pieces of media also found some decent popularity, especially spore, Eee PC definitely didn’t stick around as long as you would expect though

Never had an Eee PC but my Acer AspireOne netbook was/is one of my favourite computers I’ve ever owned. Incredible product category. More of that please, don’t let Google own the segment with Chromebooks

these and the plastic convertible touch chromebooks are some of acer's nicest computers, seems like they trade power/performance for build quality when planning a product.

full disclosure: I like chromebooks, if only because they run on open-source firmware and can be had for ridiculously cheap once they go AUE and get no more ChromeOS updates or service.
like, "1/5 the price of a raspberry pi" cheap.

Windows programs were still overwhelmingly compiled 32-bit and very gradually ported to 64-bit in the 15 years or so that Windows has had a 64-bit release and computers have come with it installed by default. When this magazine page was made, there were almost no 64-bit Windows programs to be found.

Meanwhile macOS, Linux, the BSDs, et cetera, have also supported 64-bit releases for nearly as long, and essentially all software except old cross-platform programs that started on Windows (and a bunch of music production software for OS X but that's beside the point) have long been 64-bit and you have been able to run these other OSes with no 32-bit programs present.

On Windows, today, right now, in 2024, Steam's CEF Chromium tabs are 64-bit, but the main Steam executable is 32-bit.

Say what you will about the Eee PC, anyone that was on my community college campus with not much money had one. It was affordable and just enough to get online work and documents done.
