Go to the microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general newsgroup for a more
knowledgeable group of users on 64bit versus 32bit talking points.

Most folks here know about the greater memory addressable by x64 but there
are many more nuances than just the amount of ram.

Hi,

found this thread just passing by...

I have a core 2 duo T7300 cpu running 32 bit windows vista.

Are there any known benefits of moving to 64-bit ?
Or on the other hand cons ?

just looking for some experience in this area..

regards
raghav..

It is a Core Duo, meaning that it is a 32bit cpu. It cannot run x64.
The
Core 2 Duo is the 64bit cpu.

What processor do you have? That will tell you what it is capable of.
The
Core 2 Duo, Athlon 64, and some P4's are 64 bit capable.

Hi, I am currently running 32 bit Vista Home Premium, but I am
considering upgrading to Vista Ultimate and the 64 bit version if I
can.
How do I find out If my hardware can support a 64 bit OS? Thanks in
advance,
