Vista Question?
« on: January 24, 2007, 04:04:02 PM »
I see that vista ultimate is being sold on newegg for 199.99... my question is this:  what are the benefits of going to the 64 bit version as opposed to the 32 bit version?  I know the 64 will address more memory but is there a performance increase other then that?

64 bit is hurting at the moment anyway, not enough support.

One would think and maybe I am just crazy here, but shouldn't it all come in one package? I mean your license says only one install and prolly activates... What's the deal with putting both versions on one media? *grumbles*

If this is the way it actually works then... Forget I said anything.
