64bit OS. Worth it?
Hi folks,
Here is the config of my current rig which is currently dual booted with windows XP and windows 7 (64bit):
Processor - Intel core 2 quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.39GHz
RAM - 4.00 GB (3.50 GB usable) 6400mhz
System type – windows 7 64 bit Operating System
Disk space – 1.5TB
Graphics - NVIDIA Geforce 9600 GT
Looking at my current hardware am I actually getting any benefit of running a 64bit os? Would I be just as well running the 32 bit version of windows 7 instead?
The PC itself runs fine at the moment but I'm looking to get teh optimum performance out of my hardware.
PS - I've upgraded the RAM as much as my motherboard will support.
