The x86 / x64 Confusion!
Tue, 2007-02-06 21:03 - Topics:
Hi there,
I have sifted my way through plenty of web sites looking for advice as to whether I should upgrade to a 32-bit version of Vista or 64-bit.
I have redeemed my voucher for Vista Business which should be arriving soon, however, I am still in the grey as to which version to install.
Since I have a modern laptop that has an x64 architecture (Core 2 Duo T7200), I would think the 64-bit is the one for me.
But I am however aware that I must gather all the drivers for my hardware that support 64-bit. Which hardware does this specifically mean?
I have also heard a lot of rumours that many applications will fail to run on Vista x64 - but I thought and still am sure that is has backwards compatability with 32-bit apps. Is this true?
