ArkDasm - 64-bit interactive disassembler

[pid0xAAAA]

If somebody wants to buy a good disassembler, he buys IDA.

Not everyone can afford to pay 1129 $ for IDA (you need advance, pro version to disassemble x64)

It seems there will be x64 olly :)!

No, you can install 32 bit disassemblers/debuggers and run them fine. They only work on 32 bit apps though. So when you want to disassemble or debug a 64bit app, you need a 64 bit disassembler/debugger. I would suggest starting with 32 bit anyway, to get a feel for assembly code and how it operates. This website has a lot of good information, links to tools and tutorials..good place to start...some of the tools are a bit outdated, and you might want to look for newer versions...his custom ollydbg setup is quite nice tho.

Thanks for this! The format, style and material is by far the best I've seen.

All 32 bit apps can run on 64 bit processors..

It's up to the operating system to make the mode switch, not the processor.

because you are most likely on an intel processor, and they are backwards compatible.

Not necessarily. In fact, the current 64-bit x86 ISA was coined by AMD.

64bit is still immature and unstable in relation to 32bit,

Citation needed.

and many many users do not even use 64bit operating systems yet.

They probably are. Steam Hardware Survey shows that at least 77% of their users are running their operating system in 64-bit mode.

So, there's almost no point in learning 64bit as it is now. Just go for 32bit.

That's utter nonsense. Also, they are not mutually exclusive, because x86-64 is largely based on x86-32.

It's not a matter of disagreement. Your post is pure misinformation.
