Star Wars: The Old Republic 64-bit version in Beta
For those of you who may not be aware, the massively popular multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) has recently announced that it is now available in 64-bit on the public test servers.

This is especially important for a game like SWTOR, which requires a lot of processing power to…
