Legend 69 · 07-29-2007, 08:44 PM

Well? Does it have anything to do with 32bit colours?

Thanks!

So will you essentially have better performance in games with as 64-bit OS?

Legend 69 · 07-30-2007, 06:18 PM

Ah thanks, if they ask when i get my comp i think i'll stick to the 32bit.

If it was me and you need a new os i would go ahead and get 64bit, but at the moment you would realy see no advantage other than it would be more (future proof) and you can add more than 3.25Gb of ram

Legend 69 · 07-30-2007, 07:38 PM

Apart from the price are there any other disadvantages to to 64bit?

I havn't found any, most likely if a company has drivers for vista they will have them for both 32 and 64bit. In the future you will need a 64bit os in order to run 64bit apps, 32bit will on utilize like 3.25gb of ram. You can add up to 16gb with 64bit.

I would go 64Bit to be honest for your new build.
