|
 |
Im about to buy a new system but i dont know if i should keep the 32bit or upgrade for 64bit. My new machine will be MSI Neo4-F NForce 4 X2 ready PCI-Express with a AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 512k 939pin
I heard a lot of people complaining about having issues with game running under 64bit.

I am not much of a gamer, and i dont have Xp64 installed yet (modem drivers come out on the 17th)
But when I did install it the diffrenc ein performance from xp32 + xp64 was a noticable diffrence.
On the 17th I will be installing it on a second driver with a bootloader so I can play about, thats what I would advise anyone to do before migrating over to it fully.

It needs a different set of drivers for everyting to be compatible with the 64bit?

Yeah, so its worth incestigating first if they are avalable for your system
Everything on my system has drivers apart from the modem, and most companys are offering 64bit drivers now, there is also a good driver database built in... but its worth checking.

I agree with user friendly. It's too much trouble right now.

I've been running the x64-version of windows since this summer and I haven't had any compatibility problems, except with Daemon Tools since it haven't got any 64bit drivers yet. It's coming in V4 (October some time).

Luckily Daemon Tools isnt an application widely used by Nforce-users

sYn, we both know that they aren't just 32bit chips that can support 64bit instructions. They have a 64bit architecture.

All the latest games perform well in x64.
Listening to others rant horse manure is bound to put you off. Try the os for youself before coming to any conclusions.
