Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit?

Should I buy Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit? What are the advantages/disadvantages? I am also running a Intel Core 2 Duo Chip, and my other PC has an AMD Athlon X2 64 5000. I run on 32 bit software basically like photoshop, games, dreamweaver, etc. Will 64bit be better for gaming and will I get more out of my video card? Can I get more out of memory?|||the basic difference between the 64 bit and the 32 bit is the processor usage



64 bit uses the maximum of your processor and gives you the maximum performance in all aspects!



32 bit uses comparitively less amount of processor and gives a bit lesser performance.



Since you own a core 2 duo.. I wud suggest You to go for windows 7 64 bit ultimate for making optimum use of your pc.



And coming to your next doubt:



the bits(64 or 32) does'nt have anything to do with increasing your vedio card or memory..............



ofcourse you can upgrade them externally!!!



So hope your doubt is cleared.. CONGRATS FRIEND!|||ros and Cons of a 64 bit system:



* You can address much more than 4GB of memory, which is ideal for avid gamers, CAD, video editors and heavy multi-taskers. However, any 32 bit software you use will still be restricted to 4GB memory – you need a 64 bit CPU, OS and applications to take full advantage of the extra RAM.

* 16 bit applications will no longer run. Although this is unlikely to be a problem, if you use very old software (from the Windows 3.1 days!) then it will not work under a 64 bit OS.

* Existing 32 bit drivers no longer work.If you have older or poorly supported hardware you may find that it can no longer be used. Got a 7 year old scanner that just about works in Vista? You may not be able to get it working in 64 bit Windows 7.

* Unsigned kernel-mode drivers no longer work. Along with the issue above, the inability to run unsigned kernel mode drivers will cause problems for old hardware. (There is reportedly a way to bypass this check).

* Running some 32 bit applications on a 64 bit OS could actually be slower. The additional overheads in running 32 bit software in 64 bit mode could cause a slight degradation in performance. It will take some time for 64 bit software to become the norm.



The conclusion? Well, it depends on what you use your system for. If you have a 64 bit capable CPU but use older hardware, it would be safe to stay with a 32 bit version for the time being to ensure that you don’t need extra upgrades.|||no, no, no and no.

yes on the intel

no application on this planet can use more than 3 GB of RAM,

only reason to have 64 bit is to have lots of RAM, seervers need it to connect to thousands of PC's, you dont!

64 will slow you down!|||64-bit will allow you to get more out of Photoshop and games that utilize 64-bit plus you will be able to use more than 3.5GB of memory.|||http://discount-oem-soft.com/Microsoft-W…
