Which windows bit is the best? 64bit 86bit 32bit 128bit which bit would be the bestest!
Lol, i don't know where you got 128 and 84 bit windows from, Windows only comes in 32 and 64 bit. (x)86 an architecture for hardware. Dunno where you got 128 bit from.
The only real difference between 32 bit and 64 bit windows is hardware side. Well, at least that's what i notice. I think 64 has a newer kernel than 32 bit, but that's about it.
Like, look at this:
64 bit max virtual memory: 16TB
32 bit max virtual memory: 4GB
64 bit max paging file: 512TB
32 bit max paging file: 16TB
64 bit max paged pool: 128 GB
32 bit max paged pool: 470MB
64 bit max non-paged pool: 128GB
32 bit max non-paged pool: 256MB
64 bit max system cache: 1TB
32 bit max system cache: 1GB
Also to add in, 32 bit windows supports up to 4GB RAM, and 64 bit 128GB.
I found that here, it might be worth going over the site for more details.
I'm just going off the Microsoft website here man, but i do know that a lot of gamers use 64 bit windows because it supports more ram and is apparently more stable.
32bit is the same as x86
128bit windows doesn't exist.
64bit is basically an extension of 32bit which allows for more system RAM to be used.
Vista x 64 bit ....
support for SLI / Crossfire
Support for dual core/Quad Core
Support for Dx10/dx10.1 ( and drivers)
Support for 128 Gb of Ram...
Windows xp
Mediocre support for SLI
Mediocre support for new multiple core processors
No real support for Dx10/Dx10.1 and future.
Mediocre driver updates ...
And x64 bit is not only used to increase the amount of ram you can have.... x64 bit applications running in an x64 bit os/system will outperform there x32bit clones. x64 bit is 10 - 15% faster than 32bit.
And windows xp 64 bit sucks balls compared to the performance in vista 64bit...
Your better off using windows 2003 or windows server 2008 than you are using any flavor of windows xp.
your better off using windows 2000 if you have an old system.... xp sucks almost as bad as windows Me if you ask me... every time in install it i have to reformat in 2 months.
64bit - avoid like the plague.
I run x64 bit on 4 computers.... Runs great... maybe not on old clunker computers from 5 years ago. . . ^^Quote:

EDIT: Right, here we go:
XP Has plenty of support for SLI/Crossfire
XP Supports multiple core processors fine. What it doesn't support well is more than one PHYSICAL processor, aka dual/quad slot mobos
Yeah, it doesn't have DX10, but it's not really needed anyway.
It supports more than two cores fine.
It has plenty of driver updates
It can support 128GB RAM just like vista, there is 64bit XP you know :)
Xp being almost as bad as ME and you have to format every 2 months? You must be filling your computer with a lot of shit for that to happen.
ah another computer tech cowboy then ? Xenosaga21 self certified ?Quote:

just stop posting crap. or just stop posting.
Windows Xp 32 bit only supports 2.7gb Ish
minus the fact that it counts video Card ram into that equation . . ..
if you have to video cards in SLI.... = 1gb
so 2.7 - 1gb = 1.7 GB Available out of the 3 or 4 you purchased.

windows Xp 64bit is not good... not good at all, You are much better off using Vista x64
dx 10 / 10.1 is a Vista only feature . . . there are ways to run dx 10 in xp but there is no driver support for it so GG there buddy . . .
Windows Server 2008 is a great os even for gaming. . .
and if you are really looking to save resources you should be using something like windows 2000 . . . 2003
No need for fancy gui .... just waste resources ....
so where am i wrong ?
Quad core runs way better on vista. . .
dual core is supported. . . in xp but why waste the money on a dual core cpu if your computer is going to be a door stop. :technolog
"dissect" away ...

im soo pissed off at the retards that post nonsence here and the mods that dont prevent them from doing it...
i just dont have the strenght to educate people like xenosaga. xenosaga - google everything you posted and prove yourself wrong, its the only way you will learn. you do not deserve any of my, mazo's, or anybody elses time.
Ok whats wrong? and Why? educate me?
from Experience i can tell you that vista on modern hardware will far out perform Xp in terms of gaming and multy tasking...
I can also say that I 100% believe that windows 2000 runs WAY better for gaming on low end systems ( pre P4/ post PIII )
Windows 2003 is a great Server OS and when configured as a Workstation.... it is very low resource Hog/ And if you can find driver support. . . which most manufactures like Asus do support 2003... you can game on it VERY WELL!
Windows 2008 Is Another GREAT OS Needless to say it shares much with Vista but is from my testing (which is limited as i only have 4 computers here) very stable even for gaming.
Now to tackle windows xp
a) I have used it for YEARS
b) I know it has issues !
c) I know how to fix those issues!
d) I know not to bother fixing those issues anymore, because for me atleast in my case a tweaked copy of vista is FAR More hastle Free and FAR more intuative and responsive.
e) Driver support for Vista is continuously evolving and expanding...
f) Driver support and development for xp has reached its climax and is in a decaying state.
g) ALL the new hardware is now being designed with vista in mind...
h) ALL new video cards are now sli or crossfire capable...
i) Windows xp is limited in its ability (32 Bit) 2gb to 3gb memory limit...
anything that allows you to "bypass" this limit is fraudulent . . . and basically just lets you "see" memory past those limits but will not let you actually take advantage of it....
j) windows (all versions) have a limited system which is used to allocate memory to applications like games (INCLUDING ALLOCATION TO VRAM!)
which is part of the 32 and 64 bit memory limit if you will...
k) windows Xp 64 bit is NOT Good it lacks key elements of compatibility that may can have caused issues with programs in the past. . . I dont want to get started on this cause if i did i would post in the debate section and i really dont give 2 shits about windows xp 64bit as it is not even worth my time.
L) Sli from personal experience runs much better on non xp... systems.
M) Vista is written to be better at utilizing multi-core processors than XP is!
After all xp is a dinosaur from the era of single core home computing. . . small tweaks and leaps and strives have been made in service packs .. but eh why not just use the OS DESIGNED WITH THIS IN MIND IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Why limit your hardware because you where to lazy to learn a New Gui?

I am done with my rant continue on with your delusional lives.
Welcome to one of the reasons why I'm a thread away from leaving ragezone. I got demodded based on what I do within a game, NoPeace left for reasons I won't discuss here. This section is just becoming hell, fast.Quote:
