32-bit vs 64-bit PCs…Is it possible to have a 64-bit processor and run 32-bit Vista to avoid driver issues?
I like the idea of buying a laptop that will hold up for the future, and having the capability of eventually running 64-bit Vista and using more than 3-4 GB RAM. I see a lot of laptops on sale that use 64-bit processors and are installed with 32-bit Vista. Is this possible or is it really 64-bit Vista? Should I consider these laptops?
Also, I’m not really into gaming, and I would probably do this mainly on a desktop, but that’s not to say I never will play games on a laptop. I like computers with power and speed, and with the capability of doing anything, so which combination of processor and graphics card should I consider (T5500 vs T8100 vs AMD Turion 64 x2 TL-60, Intel’s integrated graphics vs ATI or NVidia dedicated graphics). I don’t really care about battery life since I usually plug my current laptop in anyway.
Defiantly. 64-bit is backwards compatible. Plus AMD64 processors to my opinion are faster and more durable. You can have a 32-bit OS on 64-bit computer. Not vice versa, however.
