I have decided to run Vista X64 as I want to fully utilize my 4GB . Have anyone here used Vista X64 for gaming and what is their opinion. For me it feels slightly faster or the same as XP or Vista 32 bit.

Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
3600.0 MHz (9.0 x 400.0 MHz)
4GB DDR2
Gainward 4870 1GB GS

i installed it on my laptop.

but so far most of my apps n games are installing into x86 folders. so don't really see the point.

gamming wise, i find it to be more or less the same as XP

sorry, forgot to put my specs

Proc : 2.53Ghz Intel® P9500 45nm "Montevina" C 6Mb L2 Cache
RAM: 4096 MB DDR3 1066MHz Dual Chan (2 SODIMMS)
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 9800GT 512MB DDR3

the only game i find buggy on x64 is C&C Generals, but it is playable nonetheless

Personally I find the X64 much more responsive and efficient compared to the X32 vista.

Here's my specs:
Intel C2d Quad Q6600 @ 2.40Ghz
MSI 8800 GTS 320mb
2x2GB Kingston HyperX 800Mhz
Creative SB Live! 24bit External

So far, games wise, so good. I have CS: Condition Zero, War3: Frozen Throne, NWN2 + MotB + SoZ, COD4, COD5, Crysis + Crysis:Warhead, Quake4 and Rappelz installed and all ran without problems. I only had a problem with one of Tom Clancy's games, but I can't remember which title. It just wouldn't install. The others games I mentioned above ran without a glitch, and maybe it's just me and the x64 placebo effect, I feel that the x64 actually outperforms the x32 is most of the games.

So far, I have tried

Far Cry 2
Need for Speed - Undercover
Devil may Cry 4
Crysis 64 Bit

All works well.


Will keep updating.

Bro, I've got a question, may I know what brand and model is your laptop? Also, I've tried a lot of games in 64-Bit OS (Vista) but there's no performance game, well maybe that's further contributed by the fact that all my games (which I don't play but install) are 32-Bit.

it's a sager NP8660.

time to advertise my thread

I'm Vista x64 user.

So far, I've tried

-NFS Undercover
-COD4
-COD World at War
-Battlefield 2, 2142
-Race Driver GRID
-Flight Simulator X

Runs very well, even though I'm using low-profile graphics.

your pc quite good

Tried running GTA IV at 1680 1050. All settings maxed out with only shadows at 8, much smoother from XP 32 bit or Vista 32 bit . No stuttering at all. Benchmark at 47 FPS.

Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64bit here... Everything runs fine... The most obvious boost is the speed Vista is running :hehe"

I know. I'm waiting for suitable time and budget to get one.

Thanks for the link to your thread. It's a really good review I must say, enjoy your laptop. Btw, no offense to you but it looks quite ugly.

[OT] It's... looks like... IBM Laptop! Minus the IBM logo of course. Btw, the Sony 18" Laptop (I don't know the model name) sucks big time, looks freakin' ugly!

Just tried out Dolphin X64. Tried out Ikaruga and works very well.

actually for those new game and program that wont be any problem.

i'm using vista 64 bit as well
all the games i've install successfully but all can't launch ??? wat the heck ???
games i tried NFS undercover, crysis warhead, NFS carbon, Grid ...when try launch game, got error

anyone can advice what is wrong with my Vista ?

this is what happen if you don't do your proper research and studies before buying 64bit ..
this applies to everyone ^^

What was the error message. Maybe I can help.

perhaps it's "Please insert the correct disc" error
Crysis Warhead is supposed to be able to run on Vista x64 tell us what is the error here, perhaps some forummers might be able to help
