Subject: [Boost-users] 64 bit or 32 bit?

Hi,

I have a Windows 8 64 bit OS and would like to use Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8. Should I install a 64 bit or 32 bit version of Boost?

All the Boost code is pure C++ and independent of 32 or 64 bit.

If you need to build libraries (maybe not - most of Boost is header-only) - only then do you need to worry about building with the right with the 64 options set.
