Jim is perfectly correct. The OS will run the program, see that it's a 32-bit application and seamlessly run it with WOW64 and the end user never knows the difference. I think that the higher capabilities of the AMD CPUs make everything run smoother by technical default due to many hardware factors that is best saved for a AMD/Intel forum. ;)

I am running loading under the 64 bit and allowing the WOW64 to address the compatability issue. 2) As for performance. I feel I have seen a better performance issue. The Server is more stable and definitly running smoother. 3) around the corner I am stepping up the Single Core to a Dual. Note: You will hear people state right here Steam does not support 64 Bit only on the 32 Bit. But I can speak from first hand experience. Alfred and the team at Valve have been very receptive to assisting and fixing any issue noted on the 64 bit O/S. -Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Whisper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "HLDS" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 8:23 PM Subject: [hlds] SRCDS and 64bit CPU's > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > I understand that if we had 64bit CPU's we would have to run them in 32bit > compatibility mode if we wanted to run SRCDS, is this still correct? > Are there any other issues with SRCDS on 64bit CPU's that any of you are > aware of? > For those of you running SRCDS on 64bit CPU's are you finding the > performance better or worse on 64bit CPU's as opposed to their 32bit > brothers?
