  • So its not the fault of the OS, its the fault of the user in most cases for not selecting the correct drivers OR not doing their homework on their hardware before hand.

    So true, but i am aware of this, problem is lack of 64 bit version software even now in 2011.And to add this: how to select correct driver in both cases ;)
    And reason for 64 bit from my side is dual core and of course 64 bit version is slightly faster than 32bit, also i heard rumor that DX 11 works better under 64 bit OS (not confirmed yet)


    "32bit or 64 bit, that is the question now..."


    i like 42

  • 64 bit cannot be faster than 32 bit without other optimisations. 64 bit is not twice the size of 32 bit its 2³² times more. So with 32 bit only 4 GB ram are addressable (in case only 3 GB as 1 GB must remain for address management). So 64 bit were necessary to manage more RAM and hence better CPU were necessary to address faster in this now 4 Gbit times (=16 Exabit) more addressable space. Not that i have seen yet a pc with such specs :)


    Normally windows 7 should be able to protect its kernel and memory far better than win xp - but it might occur that the drivers or other software have access to this level of the OS and might destroy more. But i dont expect a normal user could have control of it... Hence i am still convinced its a hardware defect and not a software related problem or 64 or 32 bit thing.

  • 32x2=64 lol Huor, you really think i am that stupid...nm :huh:


    I know what is the problem with my new PC (Graphic card crashed more than 30 times in past 2 months, hmmm i think that is my AGP but cannot be 100% sure)
    Sad thing is, central service is 300km from my place and 5-7 days is minimum (better say 10 days or maybe 2 weeks), not to mention that i have only 1 PC right now ^^.More than this i am not sure that even in service they can figure out what is the problem that easy, because sometimes PC works few days without problems and then crash and so on...scary brrrrrrrr
