Windows 7 question²

by kartez • 10 Oct 2011, 12:42 • Journals
At first i wanted to install w7 64bits and buy more ram, but 4gb is enough atm

but then i figured that my motherboard allow me 4gb max,

so should i still go for 64bits or its useless and i should go for 32bits version?

im happy with 32bit version since some progs are not compatible with 64bit

I'm yet to see a program like this after almost four years of 64-bit use. Various system-level drivers excluded.

I have 4gb RAM and got the 64 bit version.. And nothing is incompatible with win7 x64.. programs that dont support 64bits will just run as x32.. so no troubles at all.

Later when you buy smth with more RAM you can still use your 64bit win7 :)

so if i will change my motherboard in the future, i will need to format again

Just use 32BIT with 4GB.
6GB or more = 64BIT.

32 bit only reads 3.3 gb :{D

4gb is enough for 64bit ....

4GB is to slow here.
32BIT is faster here then 64BIT.

I got Win 7 ultimate 32 & 64 bit installed.

64 bit system is still fresh and it still slower then 32 bit system.

Windows 7 system requirements

If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

- 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

- 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

- 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

- DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

are we going to have some proper foruns at CF4 related to series/pcs/ etc etc ? :)

TosspoT 10 Oct 2011, 14:37
related to series/pcs/ etc

Please explain more!
Parent
▼
ag0n 10 Oct 2011, 14:45
something just like current foruns, but better organized with what people "use/talk" the most.. Like series, youtube/troll stuff; pc questions; moviemaking...

i think he means subforums for technology etc, which actually already exist, but its an extra click to get there :XD.

ag0n 10 Oct 2011, 14:49
exactly, i meant we could start using them more, but they need some improvement to help people post etc etc.. Don't really know what exactly could be done, but i'm sure the cf coder (adrenaline perhaps) can find a way to improve them.. People tend to post everything as journals... big mess

TosspoT 10 Oct 2011, 14:53
We've done something to address it both code & design wise, plus will moderate stronger to push such content to the forum (for example in CF 4 an admin could just drop this thread into the forum).

Whilst we're moving towards it slowly on CF3, in CF4 really it will just be the journals that are loosely moderated, meaning if you want constructive feedback you wouldn't go to the journals.

good to hear, looking forward to it

You could either add tags for journals/forum threads or just add more dividers, so instead of Journals and Forums on the right there would also be like Recruitment, Technology, Music, whatever

not sure how much itd be used myself

64 ofc lol

64 bits of course.

If you install the 32 bits version, even if it shows up as 4gb, your w7 won't be using more than 3 or 3.5gb (can't remember exactly).

64 bits version is just perfect, everything works fine for me since the 1st beta of w7...

running win7 x64 with 4 GB, works like a charm
▼
Levin 10 Oct 2011, 14:41
Depends if you're happy with your OS right now, I'd stay at 32 but when you get a new mainboard get x64


x64 is beetatatar

HellHammer 10 Oct 2011, 15:02
Had them both, 64 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>32 for win7
▼
belto 10 Oct 2011, 15:05
Le x64 c'est l'avenir, de plus en plus d'applications seront en x64 donc le choix est vite fait.

Et puis de toute façon si tu changes ta carte mère dans le future tu devras quand même formaté puisque nouveau chipset.

x128 est l'avenir, mais ok

quebratolas 10 Oct 2011, 19:28

▼
pulssi2 10 Oct 2011, 19:57
Your graphic cards memory is included in that 4GB maximum that 32bit Windows can handle.
