| | 64 bit versus 32 bit I have installed x86 RC2 on my machine (AMD Athlon 64 64 processor 3000+) and it appears to be running OK. Should i have installed the 64 bit version? Will it make a difference? TIA JL |

| | Re: 64 bit versus 32 bit Since Vista is still pre-release software and you should not be relying on it for production or as a primary home system, go ahead and load up x64. It is evaluation software provided to you so that you can contribute bug reports and check out your apps and devices. Only 5% of the installed Vista base is x64 so you will be able to help MS better checking out x64 than x86.

| | Re: 64 bit versus 32 bit Hi! I installed and tried 32-bits RC2 and 64-bits RC2. Here is my configuration: Motherboard : ASUS P5N32-Sli Deluxe CPU : Intel Pentium Dual Core Extreme Edition 3.73 Ghz Memory : 4 GB Graphic board : ASUS 7900GTX 512 MB Hard disk : 2 WD Raptor 10000 RPM : 150 GIG each With RC2 32-bits : very fast once a day, I get BSOD STOP 0x00000127 USB does not work With 64-bits RC2 : very very very slow; with Build 5384, it was not so slow no BSOD USB works well everything else is like 32-bits I run 32-bits because 64-bits is too slow. Bonne journée!

| | Re: 64 bit versus 32 bit Hi, Thanks for the reply. I guessed the 64 bit might be slower than the 32 bit version. I will stick with the 32 bit for the meantime, andget confortable with the interface.

| | Re: 64 bit versus 32 bit Actually, 64bit should be faster, but it a hard diff to detect without metrics.
