While I applaud you for making an effort, your article is a bit off. The forum post mentions that it may be in issue with multi-core processors and Windows. Only single core AMD's and only multi-core Intel's were tested. Yet your article blatantly states that it's an issue with Intel processors and Windows, which may or may not be true. Until both AMD multi-core and Intel single core processors are tested your statements in this article aren't valid.

Interesting that this would happen. However, I must point out that the only people who are copying 760,000 files at one time are... well, people who are testing Windows to see if it can copy 760,000 files at one time.

It might be nice to FOCUS on the facts that 32bit vs 64bit are two seperate worlds in this issue. the 4MB limit, you installed hardware all have a role in this. That is why the 60 or 40 limit in the registry is used. 32bit OS's need to be put out of their missery already.
