    So... do u hav to hav a 64-bit OS to get the maximum out of a dual core 64 bit processor?? sorry i am asking all these questions... just curious
    It is ok.We got no 64bit OS running now coz lack of software support.(We cant find them here easily-not the little day to day apps)

    Well, native 64bit software will give you better performance in heavy mathematics oriented fields such as video rendering (animations), archiving, encoding, cryptography and certain CPU intensive tasks in even normal Office applications (such as sort, search functions). But not all of the software is 64bit. I've finally moved to 64bit. I'm using 64bit Vista Ultimate. Still, more than half of my software is 32bit. They don't run slow though.

    One other thing, you need to most probably double the RAM you have, to run a 64bit system. Because 64bit programs allocate RAM in larger chunks (whether or not they are used) and 512MB is definitely not enough for 64bit.

    And, we like to answer questions. Don't hesitate to ask anything. This is a forum. This is for questions :D

    Anusha ayya what if I plug in another 1GB ram and buy a 7300LE.Is it will be better than 1GB with 7600GS?(other is 2GB with 7300LE\GS\GT)
    In games, it won't be faster. You will see less stuttering, but framerates will still be low. You know, most people still buy 1GB RAM and Geforce 8800 series cards.

    Anusha Aiya, what differences can u see once u increase the RAM? this might seem a bit dumb but still i need a clear answer
    Less paging means you don't have to wait for things to load. Whenever the hard disk is involved, things get slow ne? You will see less of these with more RAM. This doesn't necessarily mean all your programs will run faster. Programs that need a lot of RAM such as photo editing software, video editing software etc. will be smoother.

    It doesn't mean your web browsing will be faster. It doesn't mean your video playback will be smoother (unless you are really, really low on RAM). It doesn't mean your PC will boot faster.

    In games, more RAM means there are less pauses. Don't misunderstand, this is not low framerates. The games will pause for a second or two to clear the RAM and load from the hard disk when you are low on RAM.

    True.. Super....I am doing maths for A/L too... any tips?
    Do as much problems as you can. The experience is what matters. This is what's lacking at University. In 3 months per semester, you can't get much of an experience in solving problems, hence the papers are tough for most.
