Just wondering!  8)

I want to learn some x64 stuff, but I want it Masm way. It's a masm64 version out there?

there is ML64 - microsoft's 64-bit version of MASM
however, i think many of those who have done 64-bit assembler prefer to use JwAsm or some other flavour

Wow, Dave, It sounds like "programming in masm64 s*ks"  :shock:

What I think it that people prefer to code once and compile anywhere (x86,x64) than having 2 sources for each Os target.

As Dave mentioned, JWasm is preferable. It's not a crippled version of ml.exe :

Also take a look at Japheth's WinSDK translation: WinInc (http://japheth.de/WinInc.html)
