Spaz The Great Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 And to have 64Bit I have to pay right? On my Hp Manual, it says the maximum ram is 4GB. Btw whats the difference between 64bit and 32bit? To get any version of Windows you usually have to pay O.o...... And I'd say the difference is about 32 bits..... But I could be wrong.....

GTA Don Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Well, actually... 32 bit operating systems can handle a maximum of 4GB RAM and 64 bit can handle RAM beyond that. Of course, you'll need a 64-bit processor as well. If you're planning on using more than 4G of memory you may wish to consider the purchase of a 64 bit processor. Just remember that the operating system you choose must have 64 bit capabilities. Most of today's do, so that shouldn't be a major problem for you. They're not much more expensive than 32 bit operating systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azn Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 A 7500LE isn't exactly what you would call a good card for these days, but yeah, you could probably run it on medium at least. You've got a good processor but I think it's bottlenecked by that GFX card. It doesn't have a lot of VRAM as well so that's bad. Is that a desktop or laptop you're using? Laptops are NOT good for gaming, unless you buy a game controller or keyboard and mouse for it and have decent enough specs. 7500LE ain't that good, trust me. It's a desktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 That's what I was thinking too, but why give me a 32bit in the first place? Uhm... drivers.. Companies like Creative tend to give you a "fuck you" when it comes to 64bit drivers. But the situation is improving... 32bit can do 4GB. But effectively this will become about 3,5 GB. Linux can use someting called PAE (or something like that... can't be bothered to look it up) which enables it to have a maximum of 6 GB or something. Well, at least more than 4.

(GB of RAM) Damn, you're fucked either way then. The decision is yours whether to use 64-bit. I personally don't because I only have 2GB of RAM and Adobe CS4 isn't out yet. However when I double my RAM and get CS4, I will probably get 64-bit, as most companies will be providing drivers by then anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I guess thats one nice thing about having a laptop - all of my drivers are available in one place. I should have got a vista 64bit DVD with my 14'' laptop because it has vista ultimate. Apparently if you have vista ultimate you get 64 bit from the manufacturer. Oh well.

Pandora Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 It's the OEM's decision. What matters is what they think is the best for their target audience. I've got 4GB and Home Premium (bought myself, though it's an OEM version. So it was my own decision). Initually Vista only could 'see' something like 3,5 GB. With service pack 1 that has become 4. But don't be fooled, it only confirms that you have that full 4GB installed. Effectively it's still that same amount, which should be around the 3,5 GB. I choose 32bit because of the driver support not yet being optimum. Stuff like printers don't all yet have 64bit drivers for them, so I decided I'd do with 32bit for the mean time. Getting 64bit when I upgrade to Windows 7 (about half a year after it's release. Hopefully it will be a bit more polished than Vista when it was released. Though I have to say I love Vista after SP1.) But, uh.. yeah.. Dunno why we're even talking about this since 2 GB should be enough. Any new computer comes with 2 to 3 GB and it is very easy to upgrade. No real problem their. I think most will have a graphic card problem (CPU usually isn't that much of a deal, though they do bottleneck high-end cards). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortbus Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) Yo, When GTAIV comes out, this will be my setup: Windows XP Home 32bit SP2 3GB RAM AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.6GHz ->Video Card<- EVGA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB PCI-Express x16 1024x768 But since my current PSU is only a 305W, I'll also be getting this: >PSU< (I'd like to knock of 15 bucks for a 500W PSU if anyone has a suggestion, but only if its just as good or better as this Antec one.) Open to suggestions on PSUs, though. Edited August 27, 2008 by Shortbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claude-5 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 just bought myself a new case & motherboard from eBay, what do you reacon will run IV quite decently, on ok, but not brilliant settings, can I have some advice on what i should buy for my new rig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX22B1998 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) @shortbus yeah i reckon that will work good @claude-5, well the mobo doesnt really determine it, mainly the CPU and video card. Did you buy a AMD based or Intel based motherboard? If amd i would get a X2 5000+ or more, if intel, i'd go for a e8400 (3ghz core 2) or if you cant afford that, a e7200 (2.53ghz core 2). graphic card, i'd get a 8800gt/s/x . but i think gtx is still quite expensive.
