Tantawi Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I don't know if it's only me, but I think 64-bit computing experienced a major push since the introduction of Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard, I even notice more people is running a 64-bit OS than before in signatures and posts etc. Hardware and software support is also way better now, any 64-bit compatibility issues are best described as "minor". So, what kind of operating system your computer(s) is/are running? If you have more than one OS configuration, select both :) My PC is running Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit (Y).

Lee G. Veteran Posted June 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 8, 2008 I voted 32 bit, as I'm running that now. But I'm going to format and install 64 bit :p (hopefully later today or tomorrow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted June 9, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted June 9, 2008 I've no idea what type of OS I use. I'm assuming it's 64-bit since it's Mac OS X 10.5.3, but there's not really any indication anywhere that says it's 64-bit (or 32-bit for that matter).

Julius Caro Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I believe that the majority of OS components on Mac OS X are 32-bit binaries, not 64-bit ones. Besides, on Core Duo (not Core2), it's all 32-bit. I read on wikipedia that the kernel is 32-bit even on 64-bit enabled systems. Certain things like... Carbon? are still 32-bit. So the 64-bit support is there at least, but most of stuff runs on 32-bit. On Windows Vista x64, the OS is 64-bit, and there are SDKs for 64-bit apps to be developed for the windows platform (those apps that want to use windows libraries, that is). There's also the whole 32-bit windows libraries for those apps that use it. XP 64 bit uses that same approach, but I rather run vista since technically the 32-bit and 64-bit version are like "Mirrors" of each other... not sure if it's the same with XP. Linux x64 will let you use most of stuff in 64-bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashG Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Vista Ultimate 32-bit on my main machine. XP Pro 32-bit on the other two. PCLinuxOS 32-bit on another one. Although the only one that has 64-bit capable hardware is my main computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee G. Veteran Posted June 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'm on 32 bit still - I decided not to install 64 bit yesterday :p (well, I did, but due to software issues I went back to 32 bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted June 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 9, 2008 ^^^ I believe that is a 32-bit Flash player. My post was a tongue-in-cheek reply to the one I quoted regarding how 64-bit Linux lets your run "most stuff in 64-bits". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
