    deang ena okkoma processor wala 64bit enabled ennea so kavruhari 32- bit OS use karala passey 64-bit OS use karpu waya inaawwanam
    please let me know howz the performance of 64bit OS in comparing with 32bit OS?

    I used it !!!! but now i used 32bit !!! But my processor want 64bit edition !!!!!!

    64bit !!!!!! hmmmmmmm ! It's good and very fast operating system !!! but the problem is lot of software and games doesn't support to the 64bit !!! that's the problem !!!!

    I have no problems with 64-bit I used Vista 64-bit for over 8 months and windows 7 RTM for nearly 1 month. ;) works perfectly.

    but u only need a 64bit OS if you have 4GB+ of RAM.

    Main Advantage in 64 bit OS is it can Handle more RAM (4 GB +). also it has Enhanced security features (hardware-backed DEP, kernel patch protection) and More Perfomence (wide data buss)..

    Main Disadvantage in 64 bit OS is it take more memory to handle processes than 32 bit OS. other thing is Driver Incompatibility. Coz Device drivers must be digitally signed and 32 bit drivers will not Fully Compatible with x64.

    most new hardware support 64-bit OS ;)

    64-bit OS is more robust, can address greater amount of RAM and is less prone to virus/malware attacks

    x64 apps having compatibility issues is a myth! Everything I've thrown at it works fine. What people *maybe* saying is that there aren't many NATIVE x64 apps. Most apps (32bit) run in an emulation mode under x64. There isn't a performance hit, but it's not *nice*.

    But the apps that are natively x64 work faster than 32bit apps.

    Ya, only there is a Driver problem, Coz Unsigned Drivers are not working with x64 :)

    The main reason you should use a 64bit OS is to Adress more memory, in that respect your applications will run faster given that you have more than 3.2GB of memory, Also, some Arithmetic operations run much faster on 64bit processors because of the wider Word Length and also because of the added instruction set, your 32bit applications will run just as fast as they will run on a 32bit OS, but they wont be able to use all the memory available to the 64bit OS, in general 64bit software are faster than 32bit software, for an example run 7zip 32bit bench mark and the 64bit one, ull see a lot of difference with the compression speed, 64bit is the future, so switch to 64bit
