Default Re: Old one, Vista: 64 Vs 32?

FYI...i ve a genuine version of vista ultimate waitin to install it tho

Did lots of googling:

goin for the 32bit by the way. I see nothin going for the 64bit version right now based on my usage. future change, who knos. Right now, all my apps are 32bit, and i use nothin that requires that much memory to go >2Gb

Found some useful info:

A disadvantage of 64-bit apps is that they usually need more memory due to 64-bit pointers. Thus, running Vistax64 on a computer with 3GB or less only makes sense if you run applications that were optimized for 64-bit.


4sysops - Vista x86 or Vista x64? What about hardware compatibility?
