Are you using Windows 7 (32) or (64)?

Just got the 64 bit installed on my rig, runs fine, looking forward to recieving my new video card with it though, see how it runs DX10, been waiting YEARS to upgrade from Windows XP

Posting from a freshly installed Windows 7 64-bit RC, woo!

I wonder how many of these posters have run both versions on the same hardware and compared.

On a recently purchased, somewhat inexpensive system with 2gb of memory used primarily as a media center, the 32 bit Windows 7 is a considerably better performer. Not close really.

I'm running 64-bit RC (Build 7100) and it's terrific. I'll be upgrading to an SSD and reinstalling with the RTM version once the school term is finished.

I had to do a reinstall of my system and I accidentally grabbed the 32-bit disc. I ran my 12GB Core i7 920 system for a week on it before stumbling into the fact that I had less than 4GB of memory available... I didn't do any benchmarking, but I didn't notice any performance differences either.

Just got my full (and legal) Windows 7 64 up and running, dual booted with XP (because that is where all my software is). Installed and works like a charm. Quite impressed.

GO 64 BIT!

Good Luck - Make it Happen!

Once you have the hard drive space, 64bit is the way to go. There is no benefit of going 32 bit any more.
Companies were not making 64 bit drivers, but now that is almost the norm.

64bit all the way.

I will use 64bit but now I don't have W7.

And for my new rig coming on december.
