I have been reading with interest the every increasing numbers of people running X64 Vista as an everyday work machine, and am now ready to give it a try.
One reason, is that I hope to upgrade/Replace my existing machine in the next 6 months or so, and as I would like to fit a lot of memory into it, X64 is the way to go… But only if it runs OK for me…
Plus, apparently, the next version of Photoshop will be available in a X64 version…
So, I have found out my old 80GB HDD, and am going to install a copy of X64 on that drive in my existing PC, install a few of the basic ‘Essentials’ on it (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Office 2007) and run it as a test for a few days.
I hope to do that sometime over the bank holiday weekend ;-)
BTW, seems the reason that X32 cannot see all of the 4GB of RAM you install, is that the “Total” address space is 4GB, so the more memory you have on your Graphic Card(s) the less RAM you can actually use… Thought it was odd that a 32 bit OS couldn’t read 4GB of RAM!
