64 Bit OS - When to Switch ?

<< < (10/10)

f0dder:
Though an earlier statement, would be misleading if taken differently, as a 64 bit can also work with 32bit drivers as they are in compatibility mode.-edrez (July 31, 2011, 08:01 PM)

A 64-bit OS requires 64-bit drivers - no way around that for the mainstream operating systems. Something to keep in mind if you have old or esoteric hardware.

I'd hit it. ;D I am now.

edit: Switch to 64bit already. Stop living in the past! lol. Use 64bit if you want more than 3-4gb of memory. I've got a laptop with 4gb of ram, about to add another 2gb for now so that's around 5-6gb of RAM!! Superman stuff. Now I can multitask with huge mofo apps like I have never before because of 64bit.
