Crysis and Crysis Warhead of course, they were the orignal game company to release Farcry 1 on 64bit machine and your point is? How many other games can you name?

Steam could be a 64bit application however the games inside of it are 32bit.

There is more gamers on 32bit machines then 64bit, 64bit cannot lead yet, not enough made for it. There is still a huge amount of emulation.

You really need to do some research before posting: "On December 22, 2005, Valve released a 64-bit version of the Source game engine that takes advantage of AMD64 processor-based systems running a 64-bit version of Windows. This update, delivered via Steam, enabled Half-Life 2 and other Source-based games to run natively on 64bit processors, bypassing the 32-bit compatibility layer."

No not all of the games are 64-bit, but the way you stated it, all of the games are 32-bit, which isn't true. And even so, the games still run better on 64-bit than they do 32-bit flavors of Windows Vista.

Hmm, I got steam and TF2 do I need to do something to get 64BIT or is already that?

Btw win7 64bit coming at 300KB/s looks like It'll be ready for Ballmer keynote

I do have x64, but this is Neowin forum, no links alloud because it's not public yet, but i'm using 32bit because i have no use for 64bit because i have a gaming rig.

But having both gives me the option in the furture :p

On average, 64-bit windows gets better gaming benchmarks than 32-bit windows.

I didn't say all games, there is not enough 64bit games made, wow a few games can run natively on your OS, that won't change my mind to upgrade.

Show the benchmarks, what kind of tests will they do.

There is alot of theories to 32bit VS 64bit but it depends what you use your system for.

More then 4GB of memory yes i understand that, But anything else not really. And I'm basing this on only using the Machine for multimedia and gaming, and the games which are used are 32bit.

There is alot of applications that dont run on x64 either, even though they say it will emulate, alot don't even install.

Anyway this is a Windows 7 topic, i'm going back on track with this topic.

I believe the newer Source engine-based games are 32-bit only. Besides that, the 64-bit engine was a bit buggy. Making the engine adapt to multicore processors would provide more benefit than a 64-bit engine.

I know this may sound crazy but I'm about to burn the 64Bit version, though I only have a Dual-Layer disc and would be nice if I could maximize its use.

Could I create a folder with a random name inside the .iso image, fill it up with some files without it hurting the actual installation of Windows 7?

I thought gamers would be smarter than that. Running a 32bit game on a 64bit OS does not slow anything down at all.

You're far more likely to notice a better response to games in 64bit because the OS itself is running quicker and making better use of your hardware.

Yeah, it'll be fine.

You can add extras folders without hurting the actual image, Use PowerISO or UltraISO etc.

No matter how much we talk about how better 32bit VS 64bit or how better 64bit VS 32bit is, everyone has there own opinion and this case will never be resolved lol MOVE ON! :)

So now Press, OEM's Et al have Win 7 and the very people chosen by Microsoft to beta test Win 7 - don't have it.

What's worse we have to wait until S. Ballmers marketing Circus to start before we get the software, that's silly.

Since when have egos ever made sense?

TF2 is not one that has been compiled for 64-bit yet. When it is, you won't have to do a thing though. It automatically recognizes what which to run in (32- vs. 64- bit mode).

But my Sega Dreamcast is 128 bit so will it run Windows 7 better? :blink:

Half the new posts lately are all in threads starting with "Windows 7".

Madness.

I have three suggestions to you:

1) Think about what "Neo" could mean and then also think about what "Win" might be short for...?

2) Read the "Neowin" article on Wikipedia to find out the above :p

3) Maybe think about what is happening tonight at CES and what is happening this (or next) week in relation to Windows 7.

OK :)

Microsoft Windows 7 Beta 7000.0.081212-1400 Ultimate 64 Bit English Iso was leaked on torrent sites :woot:

No really? How do you think some of us have been downloading it and posting screenshots already. Getting about 500kB/s over here; another 1.5 hrs at this pace. *sigh* Better start backing up in the meantime.

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
