What's your problem with 64-bit? I haven't came across a single program that doesn't work. |
Re: Vista and/or Windows 7 users...
I'm holding out on 9GB RAM.

I've been programming/building PCs for over a decade now, have a variety of certifications, and have worked tech jobs for around 5 years now. You're right that years ago it was a pain in the ass simply because not much of the older hardware was compatible with it. Now, unless you're running some old or obscure hardware, you'll be alright. Under 64-bit OS, the 32-bit apps run on an emulation layer which doesn't harm performance noticeably because not much has to be "emulated." Vista might do a better job than XP, I don't know. A couple people I knew tried 64-bit XP and had problems, but then again it was years ago. Everyone will HAVE TO move to 64-bit soon, so don't know why the bitching. 32-bit can only address 4gb, while 64-bit can address 16 exabytes of ram. I was just asking why a MS employee was saying 64-bit sucks, because I can't find a reason why it would. jo, I pmed you. |
