a quick question

[wegotitugetit]

just bought a nice pc and one of the things it come with is

64 bit version of windows 7

normally i use window 32 bit

what diffrence is it going to make having the 64 bit over the 32

not much, only that you may need 64bit drivers for peripherals, it also utilises more memory (as in you can install more RAM, if the motherboard supports it), the OS uses the 64bit instruction set for the processor, theoretically it's faster

thanks

yeah the board will allow up to 4Gb and im currently running 3GB

although im sure i will be upgrading the graphics card soon only a 256 and want really 512

64 bit ought to be faster, and there's not great loss running 32 bit software on it either.

Some drivers will be different, and when you're downloading applications and the like, keep an eye out for x64 versions - they're usually much happier and will run faster on a 64 bit OS.

Can you tell I'm a x64 fan?
