What can I do to optimize my .NET Web sites and applications for 64-bit?

Question

How can I take full advantage of 64-bit architecture in my .NET 2.0 Web Applications and Console/Forms Applications?

Answer 1

I think there is not too much you can optimize in your managed .NET code regarding 32bit vs. 64bit architectures. This is because most of the differences and optimizatinons are most likely already implemented by the underlying VM. As mentioned in Programming for the 64 bit platform, the 64bit VM may perform better on larger data types (as long stored in one register).
