64bit OS

Post by GUARD!AN »

Who here uses one? Thoughts? I haven't really looked to see if there are compatibility issues with stuff like reborn boss Academy or anything?

(64 bit vista that is)

I'm getting my new laptop soon, not sure if I should upgrade with 32 bit Windows XP from my 64 bit Vista Business.

Off the top of my head, 64 bit just means that you can handle certain advanced applications. There's downsides obviously, like with driver support sometimes. But since you're a CE major, I'd highly recommend it because you just never know.

I have 64bit Vista. I don't mind it, I guess. Don't really know the difference though tbh. I haven't had many compatibility problems except on really old stuff, like when I tried to install the PC version of FF7. JA works fine.

Nice...

Not sure how vista@64 did that, but cool anyway.

Is this just a new computer?

Yeah for the record, 64 bit OSes are the shit. I can't wait for Windows 7, I was reading about it and technically speaking it looks pretty sweet.
