Hi.
Iv got an old Dual core 64Bit CPU. Iv always been using windows xp 32bit, so iv never realy used its potential.
But since its a laptop and has shared heatsink with the videocard I have the ocation bluescreen because the Videocards overheats.

So the question is, wil the CPu run hotter or cooler in windows 7 64 bit when/if the load is more evenly distributed?

Also, what gain can I hope for in a dual core 64 bit CPU stepping from XP-32 to win7-64 bit OS? I recon win 7 is better with dualcores, and the 64 bit has a small part in it aswel.


CPU is AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile TL-64.
