64 bit vista

liverpoolfc4ever · 07-08-2007, 11:07 AM

im about to buy a computer, and want to have vista 64 on it. im not sure if this is a good idea, heres the system:

Performance PC. Intel® Core® 2 Duo. (6600 (2.4GHz, 4MB, 1066FSB) , Standard Case , 19 " LG L1919S 8ms , EN8600GT Silent/HTDP/256M , 250GB Sata 2 Hard Drive , 2048 DDR 2 800 MHz , Vista Premium 64 Bit & Disc , 1 X Sony Sata 18 X DVDRW DL , No Wireless Network Card )

first i want to know if the processor is 64 bit also? as ive heard the processor must be 64 if you want a 64 bit os.

also, i heard that the 32 bit vista has more drivers or something, and that i should go with that? the only game i will be playing for the next few months is warcraft 3 frozen throne, so if it supports that then i can wait. will the 64 bit vista support it?

yes if the comp has a 64bit os it has to have 64bit processor
now you can have 32bit os on a 64 processor which most stuff is right now but you cant go the other way 64os on a 32 processor

Yes its a 64bit processor and that computer will run Vista fine, but I would go with something better that a 8600GT with that system.
