Hi,
My PC has 4GB installed and the chipset only supports 4GB; so both 32 and 64 bit OSs see the same amount of memory here as per the MSKB. In that situation, with approx 3.15GB to play with, would 64 or 32 bit Vista be faster or smoother or better in any way. Not too concerned about driver comparability issues or anything else at the moment. TIA. -- Cheers, DrT ** Stress - the condition brought about by having to ** resist the temptation to beat the living daylights ** out of someone who richly deserves it. |

"Rick Rogers" disturbed my reverie and wrote: As the chief reason for using x64 is for the additional memory capacity and data path width to run 64-bit applications, there's no reason for you to bother with it. Niether has less overhead, so neither will run smoother than the other. Thanks. -- Cheers, DrT ** Stress - the condition brought about by having to ** resist the temptation to beat the living daylights ** out of someone who richly deserves it. |
