I think this is good common sense from AMD because hardly anyone uses 32 bit Windows 8.1 anymore apart from maybe some laptop users. No need to waste development money on a hardly used operating system. 

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    Good, 32 bit has been dying far too slow of a death. I wanna smack the technicians at work everytime they load 32 on a new machine that has 8-16gb of ram just cause they won't take the time to fix one or two apps so they run properly on 64bit.

    X399 Designare EX, Threadripper 1950x, Overkill Water 560mm dual pass radiator. Heatkiller IV Block Dual 960 EVO 500gb Raid 0 bootable, Quad Channel 64gb DDR4 @ 2933/15-16-16-31, RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra, Corsair RM850x, Tower 900
