Vista - Vista 32 or Vista 64 for Better Gaming?

Vista 32 or Vista 64 for Better Gaming and Why?
Please when you reply be specific and state 5-6 reasons if possible.
Thanks!

I think , that if you have more than 4 GB of RAM you should use x64 vista since vista 32 bits is limited to 3 GB ram. But, x64 has some compatibilty problems
( i have found none since i installed it ).

You may find 64x slightly better.
It has to do with the way maths are worked out in 64bit over 32bit.
It has more addressing of memory. More memory means more can run without the HD being used a page file.

Games that have "Games for Windows" label are tested with Vista x64.
IMHO, gaming on x64 is much better (more RAM, better stability).

soon future games will run in true native 64 bit, like crysis does at the moment (and much better it runs too)

I would recommend Vista x64. x64 just gives you that extra boost for everyday applications.

I am planning to buy a new PC too and I am not sure if i should take Vista 64 bit, i will buy 4 GB or 8 GB Ram and I want to use them fully.

I just hope that old Games will work on 64-bit (Command & Conquer Generals) is the most important one ^^

I was told by one of the staff at Microdirect Warehouse, that I was making a big mistake on buying x64 version of Vista.

But I said to him, It's the future mate... everyone will need It one day. So why buy a 32bit one now, an then buy a 64bit for the future. May as well buy It now



X64 all the way,

Ok, being a Microsoft CSR, means i obviously hear alot of critisicm about Windows Vista both x86 and x64. The no.1 issue would be 'compatibility issues'. Another common enquiry i get would be vista is slow and sluggish. I often advise customer to move over to the x64 architecture as it increases overall hardware significantly. Unfortunately those who are using windows vista would rather downgrade to xp pro.

Why? Because they listen to all the negative feedback. Those who dont like it, dont understand it.

Wether you upgrade or not. You will be forced. If you want the maximum out of your computer hardware and software. With a x64 bit architecture developers/distributers will be making software to best fit the average consumers needs. Obviously the consumers would like to keep ontop of everything (being updated/Latest software). Developers have started developing games to use maximum potential of quad cores and x64 platform.

I was unaware of the difference between 32/64-bit os so i thought i would buy a new pc and see for myself (i needed a pc anyways)..

The noticeable differences from 32/64-bit:

• Faster overall processing speed
• Double my RAM (ult x64 allows 8GB ram max) < Although i never seen lag when running vista ult x86 @ 1920x1080.
• Only known compatibility issue (Fallout 3 during installation)

My personal Suggestion:

Upgrade to x64

Its not so much the operating system, but the hardware itself. Put some dollars into ur machine and you'll see your well worth money spent
