Thread: xp/vista directx9/10

Does it really make that much difference about what 'bit' version of Vista you have, people regularly talk on here about if you are starting fresh then you may as well get vista as its only a matter of time before games and stuff wont run on XP and in all the rig discussions having 64bit to allow use of more than 2gig of memory is usually recomended. This seems a contradiction to me. I don't have any brand new games, e.g. crysis etc yet but have brought games since Vista came out and never have I seen recomended specs specifying eitehr 32 or 64bit os versions..on any game box...

Thanks for the link its helpfull.

With such an old rig, and ancient printer that was utter crap even when I brought it, I guess I will stick with 64bit. I mainly want the computer for games, and can still use the old one for old favourites, even if it struggles even with them. I would expect by now most new release games will run 64bit and as I havn't bought any yet I can double check the xmass list before hand. I do very little but use word, surf, and play games on my PC so hopefully shouldn't come across too many problems, I guess i'll have to wait and see.
