Gauze SG Anyone using one? I've been trying out Vista Business and Gentoo/Ubuntu x64, can't seem to see any difference performance wise. But I feel good the pc is running in its native mode. So far, no problems running the 32-bit programs too.
Gauze SG I got 2 gb of ram. Playing games and all doesnt go pass using even 1 gb. Hmmmm. Oh yeah, I once installed a Windows XP Performance Edition. Used 80 mb of ram on a clean startup only.
ndmmxiaomayi SG 64-bit can go higher than 4GB of RAM. Most motherboards by today's standard can support up to 4GB of RAM, which is the maximum for 32-bit boards.
ndmmxiaomayi SG Have you tried programs optimized for 64-bit platforms? Although some 32-bit programs could run, they aren't optimized for 64-bit platform.
eagle SG Not for the newest Thinkpad on NUS/NTU tenders... Running on vista business, and yet a max of only 2gb Vista will already take up so much RAM
ndmmxiaomayi SG Bad... But then again, Thinkpads aren't geared towards students... no idea why they want a tender for it.
eagle SG For clumsy students like me I guess... =D I'm using one now... Just did all my rubbish clearing + transfer files to portable hard disk to clear space + defragging + registry clearing with EZClean + checking out the possibility of getting cheap 1GB ram today... Hv to waste taking out a 256 MB ram
Gauze SG Sadly, not much programs to test for since the developers are lazy to port them to x64. Basket.
ndmmxiaomayi SG Haha, yeah. Wait lor. 64-bit will become the norm in time to come, just like 32-bit becomes popular when 16-bit rules.
ndmmxiaomayi SG No. All 64-bit Vista OS (except Vista Ultimate) has to be ordered separately. I posted it on another forum. http://www.techsupportforum.com/microsoft-support/windows-vista-support/141533-windows-vista-64-bit-32-bit.html I think this rule still applies, I haven't check out with MS yet.
