Anyway if you really want to move to 64-bit , wait till Windows 7. Only games such as GTA IV can take advantage of 64-bit. If you run in 64-bit , you'll gain much more fps. It seems that next-gen games which were written for 64-bit and 32-bit would be better if you ru it on a 64-bit platform rather then 32-bit

Other then that its troublesome. I've decided to stick with 32-bit for compatibility sake. Few fps gain and faster speed and full ultisation of RAM isn't my kind anyway. Sure , I am not making use of my 4GB fully tongue.gif

Good day to you all
basically I'll list down few difference between 32 bits and 64bits

ok how do we count the bits and largest number that it can handle???

The largest number that can be processed in a single clock cycle will be equivalent to 2 to the power of the bit rating

So as for 32bits architecture it can handle a number up to 2^32 or roughly 4.3 billion

and as for 64bits it can handle a number of a 2^64 or roughly 18.4 quintillion.

This means that a 64-bit processor would be able to more efficiently handle large number mathematics.

The other different between 32bits & 64bits will be the memory.
for 32bits max ram that is supported is up till 3.xGb even though u install 4GB in your system
and as for 64bits currently it's support up till 16Gb and is still growing.



and for my personal experience,
by this i running on windows vista 32bits with same programs and things i done and compare to after i switch to vista 64bits i can feel the differences, the speed when running programs or doing other things also faster.

& i forgotten

Happy New year To U All!!! rclxm9.gif

There is a different running GTA IV in Vista x64. Less stuttering compared to XP x32 and Vista x64. All setting at max, 1680 1050 with shadows at 8
