well, i spoke to thheir supervisor , and she told me that dell will sent u the 64bit if u reqeust, but when the software or os crash, they will not know how to fix it because most of their techinician are not familiar with the 64bit base OS!

Use paragon partition manager
They can run in vista...btw, yours come preloaded with vista ultimate 32 bit then u request for 64bit am i right??
At 1st i tot you were using home premium den request for ultimate...lolz

- yes, you have to reformat the 40GB C drive to fresh install Windows
- if your Windows in C drive and all your personal files in D drive, should be no problem.
- what kind of Adobe software? 32-bit applications, softwares and games should be no problem to run in 64-bit Vista because WoW (Windows in Windows) compatible mode
- yep, you can download the compatible drivers here

haha, no worries, hope they can replace u with a LG lcd!! pray hard for it !



yeah quite big ><

huh means they will send us vista x64 if we requested for it without extra charge? can i still request for it now?

i think can gua... as last time i dunno saw from where stated that we can ALWAYS require for the disk if we missed it...

Means they wont take care so much of u lor...u wan then they just give..

So, i think 32 bit and 64 bit doesnt hv any physical changes as still a dvd-rom.... so i think they wont so stingy eh... u try it .. then let us know..

haha yeah, i just try today morning, and they sent to me edi! try talk to their supervisor if can!

Hi again.. Errm i've got some free time today and i plan to reformat my laptop.. but i donno how to since im lack of computer knowledge.. juz wondering can u guys teach me how and what do i need to do it? Thanks.. Sry if theres already a topic bout this, actually im in my college rite now so its hard to search in through this site for the topic coz it kept asking for me to put in my id and password everytime i click on any new pages.. Also donno how to solve this problem..

hmmm after overclocking... i play crysis v1.2.1 @1280x800 @all medium @fullscreen @no AA......................@26-28fps... how is it?

i cant seems to get crysis benchmark tool 1.05 to set benchies @1280x800 resolution...... the only 16:10 resolution available is 1680x1050.... any1 know is it possible to make 1280x800 res avalaible for the benchmark tool?

32-bit applications should be no problem in 64-bit environment. Vista x64 will switch automatically to 32-bit compatible mode.
even my old year 2002 Formula 1 racing game runs with no problem.
but i cannot guarantee you 100% OK because i’m not using your softwares.

when install the 32-bit softwares, Vista x64 will also separating the program files folder for 64-bit and 32-bit application.

actually i don’t feel any significant performance boost using Vista x64. 3DMark06 total score and CPU score only increased 10-15points.
but applications startup etc feels slightly faster and smooth.
maybe because Vista x64 use the memory better and maximize CPU 64-bit potential.

Lolz...FLESH copy...how to copy our flesh??
No benefits for using 64 bits unless u hav 4GB RAM to utilize...other than that, i think it's almost the same

does vista-64bits really increase the performance for the 4gb RAM user??
