that's that that I dont understand. Why people are still picking 32bit OSes if the 64bit give more thing for the same price ?????
And because there is still 32bit OSes, 64bit is not developping as fast as it should

Because is we have the OS at home, why would we want to spend extra money on a new one? When I bought my laptop, the 64 bit version was a fair-amount more expensive.

I just checked 5mins ago, and 64bit is 3$ more than 32bit......
I'm not saying that you must upgrade to get 64bit, but if you upgrade.... why still chose 32bit.... non sense to me

It's a fair point though - why buy Windows 7 32bit? I don't know.

Big deal? 64 vs 32 bit performance wise isn't anything to cheer about anyway.

Although a little bit extreme, Metro 2033 recommends 8gig ram. Normally you keep your O/S some time, so you must think of the requirements games will have in 1-2 years.

DCS: BS, FC2 can use up to 4GB on x64 OS, because they are "Large address aware". Also, if I recall correctly, FSX SP2 is in the same group too.

you know that the graphical memory in your graphic card is share with your RAM......

so if you have 3gb of ram and and a graphic card with 1gb with a 32bit OS, you wont have acces to all your memory.
