lockon and windows xp 64bit

[scorpion2000]

does anybody knows if windows xp 64 will give better performance to lockon

+4GB of memory

 

Don't know if anyone tried it, but I do remember actually seeing several game tests with Windows 64 bit (beta).

You may try to use e.g. google to find those. Even if LockOn was not tested it might give you an idea.

Don't forget it all involves beta tests.

The picture may yet get (a bit) better still.

Problem is that it may require more memory in the first place.

(like 98=>ME=>2K=>XP=XP2: always required more memory to run itself and apps).

But the biggest issue will be drivers.

Even ATI and nvidia seem to have a difficult time to produce stable AND fast driver.

And these are just for the vidcard.

So imagine the horror to get optimal 64-bit drivers for all our devices.

If this would not be the case I would be the first in line to buy a copy.

Personally I will wait and see what happens (as most people will I guess,

it is like a "chicken and the egg" problem)

All aside, I firmly believe 64 bit is the future, especially for very demanding sims.

But you probably now all the above.

+4GB of memory for LOckOn v4. It is inevitable. :D
