I only use x64 Windows 7 on my new laptop because of UEFI support (semi-instant boot), but other then that, I use Win7 Pro x86.
x64 is only useful IMO if you have more then 4GB of memory, other then that, your talking all x86 apps running in an emulation layer, and less compatibility, and your talking more HDD/mem usage when compared to a x86 OS. Oh and since x64 doesn't have an easy way of disabling driver signature enforcement, imagine having to press F8 on boot each time just so these modded drivers load (theres other means like a 3rd-party boot loader, but that would probably disable activation means like Windows Loader 1.9 and etc, but not RemoveWAT). I personally saw no game run any better on a x64 OS then a x86 OS also. Not really trying to dis x64 OS's, but unless you have more then 4GB of RAM or a mobo with UEFI support, theres no real use IMO On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 4:27 AM, lolattheotherguy <[email protected]> wrote: > @tribal: This is exactly what keeps things behind.
