32 bit or 64 bit

Post by estabu2 »

I am looking into getting windows 7 when it comes out, I thought I would throw this out here so everyone can know. Will there be any problems or issues if I get a 64 bit version of WIN7?

Great question. I'm getting 7 as well. I would assume it won't work since the code would have to be written for 64bit.

If you mean game problems or issues, then there aren't any on Win7 64bit.

Holy Smoke! I would never have given this any thought, but thanks for bringing it up.

Makes me wonder what else, if anything, I need to "worry" about when having the new machine built! :ohmy: I have accumulated every scrap of data regarding system requirements from this site. Will now add this one to the file! :woohoo:
