Thanks Bob and others my query re memory within the "innerds' of the machine has been most informative and I shall do some more research into the "bits" (no pun) as I mentioned before I am not terribly savvy when it comes to such workings.
Now ufie89 mentions that some machines cannot handle the 64bit function too well - my laptop machine a Toshiba Sat L550 i5 4G R 500G HDD I found by chance when doing a factory default can run either 32bit or 64bit so I changed to 64, and the change in speed and graphics etc outclassed the 32bit that it was originally set up to operate. Plus as Bob and others have said that a lot of apps programs call them what you will are all heading North to Faster&Easiertouseland, and in any case 32bit stuff can still be operated on 64bit systems. So staying 32bit to even a "clueless" individual like me is a no brainer. So leads me to think that some machines are either too old or not up to scratch spec / qualitywise. But I stand to be corrected being "Oh clueless one"! lol!! |

I have been running pure x64 for about 2 years now, and most new computers with over 3Gbs of RAM come preinstalled with x64. The reason you could be seeing a lack of speed is bloatware. A clean install should speed it up. ~Lordbob |

I tend to agree with Jimsing. I have tried both on my antique machine with 2.5 Gb of RAM. The 32 bit version performs better. Now to be fair, I have not tried the 64 bit since January and a lot of driver improvements have been made since then. When I build a better machine, I will install a 64 bit version.

I just saw a person with on issue with a game, he's running 64-bit. Seems the game won't even start or run in compatibility mode.
I won't switch to 64-bit for a while, I won't mind switching, but problems are not what I seek right now. Also, that extra "Program File x86" is pretty irritating. I could loose my installation among those two program files folders, which will cause unwanted problems. |
