I've been using it for months, but its not like I have any sort of side by side comparison for gaming. So I really cant answer your question.

Using it here. Everything seems to work just fine.
Anything not compiled for x64 just reverts to 32-bit emulation anyway, and the performance hit from that is not large.
Things will move to x64 in the next few years in a big way. XP x64 wasn't backed well enough or given enough time to grow, but as far as Vista goes, I'm kinda surprised they released an x32 version at all, given its hardware requirements. They should have just bitten the bullet and gone x64-only.

You only need vista64 if you want to use more than 4GB of RAM.

That too. 3.5Gb really. 32-bit doesn't seem to address the full 4Gb.

I'm using xp-pro 32 at work and home. I am all for hardware and softwaremaking leaps forward, but see no reason to go 64bit at this time. FWIW.

There isn't, unless you do lots of number crunching (think rendering or games). For the average user the difference will be negligible, though.creep wrote:but see no reason to go 64bit at this time

Yeah, we are using it @ work with drools and a couple million facts. XP32 just isn't enough.^misantropia^ wrote:There isn't, unless you do lots of number crunching (think rendering or games).
