fatchance Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 What are the pro's and con's? My hardware is as follows: gigabyte ep45ud3p E8400 4gigs ram Geforce 8800gts 640mb Rosewill RP600V2 600watt PSU CH Hotas I'm going to keep XP on the original SATA 80gig drive and install Win7 on a 2nd SATA drive. This way I can easily go back and forth. Thanks in advance for your advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzertard Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 x64 pro's - Smoother gameplay (subjective - but for me, yes). Less "low-peaks" with frames per second. - Take full advantage of 4 gb (or more if you decide to add 2/4 more). Con's: - Harder to find compatible drivers, altough Im quite satisfied with Nvidia and Se7en. - Some vendors may have problems with their 64 bit drivers still. - Some other application may have compatability issues - altough I havent seen any problems, and I use my systems and this OS for professional stuff (developing / manages it systems). The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldflyer2 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I have nothing but good things to say about Win 7 ultimate 64Bit RC I have had no real problems with any of my old legacy 32 bit software! Or any with my hardware! I run a dual boot setup on two seperate hard drives. Which I might add that Win 7 did automatically! Awesome. It knows! Everything runs So much faster on the Win 7 setup its hard to believe it's the same computer! Really. I hope every manufacturer embrases the Win 7 Platform! It all good here! My computer: Asus Motherbaord E5300 Dual core Intel Processor: overclocked to 3.01 gigs BFG Nvidia 9800 GT OC Overclocked 4 Gigs Certified Dual Channel 1066 ram Coolmaster 80 Plus SLI certified 850w Power supply Running XP on one HD Running Win7 Ulltimate 64Bit on other HD Both Western Digital Drives I am Building a new core I7 system now and hope it does as well!

Airway Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 DCS is moving towards 64 bits (in fact, soon ED said will release a beta 64 bits executable) Stating that they said they won't go into 64bit redevelopement og the whole engine, where did you read that? Did we miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team c0ff Posted July 29, 2009 ED Team Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) A-10C is planned to have an "experimental and unsupported" 64-bit version. There's a possibility for Ka-50 to have an 64-bit version as well, but I can't tell any details yet. We do have working 64-bit builds now, so this possibilities are not that remote. EDIT: I do think it's better to have 64-bit OS (if you have a capable hw), it can seamlessly run both 64-bit and 32-bit applications. Edited July 29, 2009 by c0ff Dmitry S.

Hello, I recently buy Black Shark...you say that in the future may be exist an 64 bit version. If i want this 64 bit version I must pay again for this version? or could I upgrade the 32 bit version that I already paid?. Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

joey45 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 probaly be a patch for 64bit. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
