| 687875 | 2008-07-11 06:44:00 | Well 32 bit Os's can only see about 3.5GB of RAM but 64 bit can see and use it all, games on 64bit seem to be a problem there was a post on this earlier this week | gary67 (56) | ||
| 687876 | 2008-07-11 08:59:00 | You need to make a list of all the applications and games that you are using currently and check individually if they can be used on a 64bit OS. That way, you wont have any incompatibility problems or crashes if you do get a 64bit OS. |

| 687877 | 2008-07-11 11:21:00 | so it will be fine with a 32-bit? would it be wise to get a 64-bit for the future or will it not matter much, will my 32-bit not be a hinderance in the near future. |

| 687878 | 2008-07-11 11:28:00 | A 32bit system will be fine. And the XPS can definitely handle being upgraded to a 64bit OS in the future. So for normal gaming and day-to-day tasks, choose a 32bit OS |

| 687880 | 2008-07-12 07:30:00 | But for the love of god please don't buy Dell. Go to www.ascent.co.nz and have them build a similar system for much cheaper than Dell. |
