Hi, I just bought a new pc with intel duo qua Q9550 and ASUS motherboard P5Q DELUXLE and WD ITB harddisk with two internal dvd writers. I think my new pc support both 32bits and 64bits. I was thinking to switch to 64bits instead of 32bits windows vista that I am using. Is there a great difference between the two? What are the disadvantages and advantages? Is it wise to switch to 64bits now or later? Anyone please comments. Your previous advices in the matter will be greatly appreciated
The main advantage of the 64 bit version is that it can address more memory (RAM). See this for the gory details: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000811.html
