Re: [DUG-Offtopic] 32 bits or 64 bits

Hi

I am upgrading my (recently purchased) laptop to Win 7.  I was thinking of installing the 64bit edition.  I read that you should have 4Gb Ram as a minimum when using the 64Bit version.  Is this true ? 

I have 4Gb of Ram but if the 32 bit is less resource hungry perhaps I should stay 32bit.  I am not planning on expanding the Ram beyond 4Gb.

Any thoughts
Rob

[Almost] all hardware is 64 bit now. Depends on the operating system you choose. Personally I’d go with Win7 64… Seems very stable and quick to me. Plus at some stage soon you will be writing for Win7 systems, so good to know how they work.

Hi all

 

I'm looking at buying a new PC. Should I spend more money on a 64 bits system or would a 32 bits system be adequate for average software development?

 

Any suggestions are welcome as to what to buy and what not to buy.

 

Thanks a lot.

John
