Re: [Audyssey] did I install winkit
Hi Muhammed, It should. For the most part 64bit systems are backwards compatible with 32byt applications and libraries, but 32bit systems are not forward compatible with 64bit applications. I'm not going to get into all the specific technical details of the difference between 32bit and 64bit here, but needless to say 64bit processors can easily run 32bit appplications because they only require half-the processing power of a 64bit processor.The incompatibilities come in when a 32bit application tries to link with a 64bit library or something that uses 64bit specific code. Here is a quick example. A 32bit Windows application would likely use a standard signed integer variable that holds any number between 0 and 32332 or something like that. On 64bit platforms they have a 64bit signed integer type that can hold a number between 0 and something like 64664. I'm not sure on the exact storage ranges of these data types off the top of my head, but the basic idea here is a 64bit integer variable can hold double the storage copacity of a 32bit integer making it a better variable to use. Problem is if a 32bit application tries to access a function that returns a 64bit integer then the program will crash as the storage copacity needed is greater than the 32bit variable is able to hold. Of course, a 64bit integer can easily hold a 32bit integer because it has a larger storage copacity. Does that make sense?

Re: [Audyssey] did I install winkit
well we will probably have to address this stuff sooner rather than later. ms has indicated that win7 is the last version for 32bit systems. its all 64 and up from now on. Myself though I think when it actually does happen I am going to miss old 32 bit, and xp. Ofcause before that I will lose my unlimited data plan on my isp I swear someone has got it in for me grin At 09:19 a.m. 14/07/2010, you wrote: Hi Josh, Well, the reason I asked is that I have the 32bit version of Windos 7 here on my laptop and all of Jim's games work fine.

Re: [Audyssey] did I install winkit
Hi Shaun, that's true. Windows 7 is suppose to be the last 32bit Windows OS, and all of the new PCs built in the last year are pretty much all 64bit anyway. So 32bit systems are going to be a thing of the past in five or six years depending on how fast the general market upgrades. However, that said we will likely see a mixture of 32bit software into the coming decade just because software developers still have to maintain backwards compatibility for something like 10 years following a new market trend. With the number of 32bit systems out there today it could be a while for the general market to really move to 64bit. As I said earlier on list the majority of PCS are 32bit systems running XP and until there is a migration from XP to 64bit Windows 7 the majority of developers will continue doing what they do now by releasing cross-platform versions of their Windows titles that is compatible with XP on up to the top of the line PC running Windows 7.
