I use Windows Vista 64 bit or 32 bit for the games?

I want to use a configuration set.  Should I go with Windows Vista 32-bit or 64-bit Windows.  I heard that the 32 bit is more compatible with most of the games.  However, some say that 64-bit will give you a better gaming experience. Is this true?

Mike

Hello Mike,.

You will have a better gaming experience with 64-bit is dependent on whether the game has a 64-bit exe and some do.  The max ram limit increased the 64-bit version is also available.  I played all my games on the version 64 no problem what so ever.  Some of the game seem better to work on 64-bit, but I don't have a real data hard to back this up.  I have a large collection of games that plays very well on Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit including Demon Stone, which is very old (Win 2000 / XP) all this without having to use compatibility mode.  So, you should be fine with the 64-bit since manufacturers of video cards offer very good 64-bit drivers. I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of _ and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.

  • Can I use a key to upgrade Windows 7 32 - bit for the upgrade to Vista 64 - bit, 7 64-bit, with a 64-bit upgrade disc?

    It's a bit complicated, but I appreciate all help.

    I have the following:
    1. access to a genuine copy of Windows Vista 64-bit (regardless of the version I want) through IEEE Computer Society.
    2. a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade disc purchased through a program of student software in 2010. Shortly after using the disk and the key, the laptop I was using died due to hardware problems.
    3. a drive to upgrade Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit bought via the same pattern of student software, including an unused key.
    Student software system only allows users to buy a copy of each version, so I can't buy it simply another copy of the 64-bit version.
    I wonder if it is possible to use the key of the 32-bit version with the version 64-bit upgrade disk to upgrade a 64 bit Windows Vista installation to Windows 7? If this is not the case, unfortunately, I'll be stuck with Vista.

  • Can I install Windows vista 64-bit for free if I have the 32-bit version preinstalled (OEM)?

    I have Windows Vista 32 bit pre-installed on my computer and now I'm ready to add more memory to my machine.

    I've already paid for Windows Vista, when I bought my Dell computer a few years (I "réinstallation DVD Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit").

    I guess I can legally get and install the 64 bit version of the same operating system (I mean for free, of course)?   I don't want to pay for Windows 7.

    Whether or not it is an option would be between you and Dell.  Copies of the retail Windows come with two discs, but OEM copies that are sold with computers come with one or the other, the one that you ordered when you ordered the computer.  If Dell doesn't want to or can't provide you with a copy, then no one else is able to.

  • Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

    Hello

    I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

    Thank you

  • Going to replace my hard drive, I'm unable to use my OEM of Windows Vista 32 - bit with the new drive copy?

    I plan to replace my current hard drive (which is functional, but not surprising in the first place) with a Solid State drive, which will help to my Alienware Area-51 m9750 notebook.  I find a reader fully compatible solid state, but I'm not there purchase Alienware.  I'm currently under Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit), and I still have the recovery DVD used to reinstall the operating system.  I reformatted my hard drive several times using this disc, each time that the deletion of the whole score and starting from scratch.  Every time I did it, I'm never asked to activate my copy of windows, mysteriously turned on when I boot on my new install of Windows for the first time, without even plugging the cable Ethernet first, and my house has no wireless network.

    I wonder, if/when I install a new hard drive, will have a different experience somehow in regards to Windows activation?  I'm unable to use my OEM of Windows copy at all?  Alternatively, my windows mysteriously will activate itself without ever seeing the internet as it does now?

    I love installing Windows and then do not need to activate it, and I hope I have that experience when I install my new hard drive.

    I just want to know what to expect in terms of my ability to use my copy of Vista OEM, and what process I have to go through to make it fully functional.

    The physical hard disk (solid state or record) is not serious for the operating system that is installed on.  As long as the drive is a standard interface and does not require special drivers not work (and most don't), you should have no problem.
     
    The recovery disks you are using are set to read specific information about the motherboard and as long as there is this particular information, that it is looking she will be triggered and doesn't have to go online to activate as the retail of Windows is required to do.  The only problem with this type of activation, it's that if the motherboard fails ever it should be replaced with a similar brand and model or autonomous activation fails and the operating system is an OEM version that is related to this motherboard and cannot be enabled on a newer replacement.

    Any suggestions what to try please.

    See you soon

    Steven.

    Hi Steven,

    It should not perform the function of the buttons on the capacitive Strip if you disable Task Scheduler fast player - however another option would be to put the service to start manually instead of automatically when Windows starts.  To do this, first enable the service from the msconfig services tab, apply the change and then reboot the laptop.

    When windows has completely recharged (it will probably slow again), open windows control panel, open administrative tools, and open Services.  Find the Task Scheduler player quick entry, right click and select Properties.  In the drop-down list next to Start up type, select manual, then click on apply then Ok to save the change.  Restart the computer for the change to apply and see if the time it takes to get a usable desktop is always good - if this is the case, then I'd leave the QPTS function defined in the manual.

    Kind regards

  • Windows Vista 32-bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit to run CS4 Premiere Pro

    Hello, I need some advice on whether to upgrade my computer or not!  I'm currently under CS4 Premiere Pro (version 4.2.1) with HD 1080 images. My computer is a HP d4999z Image maker (Pavilion) using Vista 32 - bit OS. It has a processor AMD 9600 Quad-core 2.3 GHz (phenom ADM 64 Nvidia), Ram is 4 GB, Windows Vista Home Prem (service pak2), a Nvidia GEForce 8800GT, creative SB-x-Fi, 3 internal HD and 2 HD external.

    I use CS4 PremPro for my HD video editing. I am a serious amateur and not a professional. HP said I can move to Windows 7 Ultimate on my current computer and the GB of ram from 4 GB to 8 GB and 8 GB is the maximum. So my question is... will be an upgrade like this (wind 7/64 and more RAM), give me treatment significantly more quickly or better? Ultimate Windows 7/64, and a more stable platform on which to run CS4?

    Finally, I'll go to CS5; but not on this computer.  Probably at the end of the year next to the new computer.

    Thanks for any advice.  Jean

    Jean,

    I would not invest in this configuration more. Keep it for your next system. Invest in an additional memory of HP will cost bundle, which can be thrown next year with a new PC, because you need then of different memory. For your next system, forget AMD. Intel is suitable for mounting. Your current system is 20 to 30 times slower that a good machine Intel.
