Can i play the game that required 64bit but i have 32bit? Just play the game not the performance it's ok even it's a poor performance just asking if it can be worked?????
 
64bit - a lot of stuff that is made is compatible for 32bit but also some need 64bit safer to go for 64bit and everything will be compatible.

Wow I did not know that. I dont understand that move by Blizzard, unless they anticipated that everyone will move to Vista very quickly. Do you think the performance suffers much from running wow on a 32 bit SP2 XP???

Thanks.

WoW work at native 64 bits, if you have Windows XP or Vista 64 bits, you can see at process list that WoW is 64 bits application ! Program automatically detects the operating system it is running and load drivers 32 or 64 bits .

That doesn't mean that it's a native 64 bit app, just that it has the ability to run on a 64 bit OS and is running is 64 bit mode.

They don't seem to know what "native" means. Native refers to an application designed exclusively for a particular computer operating system.

Those games all support 64 bit OS's, however they were not originally designed for a 64 bit OS and then run in compatibility mode for 32 bit OS's. Thus they are not "native".
