Mathematica 5.2 adds 64-Bit Support

Wolfram Research has announced the release of Mathematica 5.2, a mathematical simulation package. "Hot on the heels of Mathematica 5.1, itself released just eight months ago, 5.2 brings 64-bit technology to all supported platforms-an industry first. More than 4.3GB of memory (the 32-bit address limit) can now be addressed, and high-precision or large numbers are processed in 64-bit rather than 32-bit digit chunks for faster computation."
