Retain your 32 bit system. Only Upgrade to 64 bit if your
program(s) (s) (s) warrant it.
Notice the (s) after programs. If only 1 needs it then stick with
32 bit but if multiple programs demand it then and only then
upgrade to 64bit
It's more difficult to upgrade to 64bit than it is just to install
it, give it a test run and downgrade to 32-bit if it doesn't work out
for ya.
"More difficult"? No, it's not more difficult; it's impossible. It
requires a clean installation.
Well excuse my Engrish, and for the record you also can't upgrade from
32-bit to 64-bit. My point was he should try 64-bit and if he finds it's
not gonna work for him he can downgrade/reinstall to 32-bit. Doesn't
really make sense to install 32-bit now, decide later to try out 64-bit
have problems then have to go back to 32-bit. Sheesh. Who are you?
(clip)
Not many apps now a days don't support running on the 64-bit
platform,
That's generally true. The programs that are most likely not to run
under 64-bit Windows are older versions of utilities.
....Games, I know several web apps, and anti-virus apps that only run 32-
bit, but work in x64 Vista. I would say that the majority of apps still
only have 32-bit binaries. Were beating a dead horse here.
64-bit is the new 32-bit.
?? Sorry, I don't know what you mean by that sentence.
Who are you? I mean you're replying to a response from a previous
thread, and not really "adding anything to the conversation". MVP, what
is that? Are you a MS employee, or are you a volunteer? Can I put MVP on
my name for shits and giggles?
From a sales/service POV, when I see 2/3'rds of our store stock running64-bit, and these are "main stream" users, not custom pc builders, that
to me says that 64-bit is slowly creeping out into the open, and I hope
software devs are ready for it. 64-bit is the new 32-bit. If you don't
know what I mean by that sentence, what planet are you from?
MS seems to be doing a good job so far with Vista and now the 64-bit
push, but I wish they would fix all the little problems with Vista that
just piss me off to no end.
