Windows Vista Business 64Bit

[zirian]

hey guys I am thinking of getting the 64 bit edition of vista business. First of all I would like to know, are there any issues with it. That is program capabilities, etc. Thanks

Unless you needa 64 bit environment or are using more then 4 GB of RAM it's better to go with 32 bit version simply becuase the 64 bit version is a bit bigger and will run slightly slower.

As for program compatibility I would just Google for the programs you want to use and see what it says.

hmm well i currently on this computer have the 2gb of ddr2 ram. So the only thing that i need with the 64bit environment for example is for graphic editing and those stuff? So if just for gaming, and regular usage, you would recommend the 32bit?

[Mr. Apollo]

well there are some simulation programs, 3d modeling programs that are available in 64 bit but other other then that not really. You can use 64 bit but it's probably easier to use 32 bit to avoid any potential conflicts.
