Thanks

1316691 2012-12-06 20:49:00 Just make sure whatever you get has 64 bit drivers Speedy Gonzales (78)
1316692 2012-12-06 21:41:00 For a lot of us with 'older' computers, 32 bit may not have a future. However, 32 bit is NOW for us & unlikely to change until a new computer is required. PJ Poppa John (284)

If anything being sold today *doesn't* have 64 bit drivers for at least Vista and up, then there's something seriously wrong.

1316694 2012-12-06 23:39:00 True, but quite a few webcams (altho they may not be new / but they haven't been discontinued) dont have Win8 x64 drivers. Some people also found out, even tho Win8 may have drivers for their printers, they dont support all the functions of the printer. Speedy Gonzales (78)
1316695 2012-12-07 01:28:00 Yeah pretty much what Agent_24 said. I first went 64-bit some 10 years ago now.... Chilling_Silence (9)
1316696 2012-12-07 03:53:00 I first went 64-bit some 10 years ago now....You were running an Itanium system? AMD64 processors weren't available 10 years ago; neither was the PPC970 (G5). Erayd (23)
1316697 2012-12-09 01:42:00 Hmm now that I think about it, it may have been 9 years to be more precise, I think I was 16, but still... close enough. Chilling_Silence (9)
