windows 64 bit Vs windows 32 bit !!
March 9th, 2009
The code optimized for 64 bits are executed much faster but the SSE 2(watever it is) optimized one is constant. 3D applications do not benefit from the migration from 32 bit to 64 bit, probably because of the cpu. The 64 bit video drivers did not improve significantly the performance, but did not decrease it either.
According to me , Windows XP 64 bits is not an option for AMD 64 users. The incompatibility with 32 bit programs is one of the problems of Windows XP 64 bits. For programmers things are different, the compiling of the programs being done much faster .. so think about it.
.
The optimization for 64 bits is clearly a step forward, but momentarily, the only benefit you can obtain by installing this operating system is the possibility of administering more than 4 GB of RAM.
The test pointed out that as long as there isn?t a wide range of 64 bit applications, migrating from Windows x32 to Windows x64 is not yet justified, the complications regarding drivers and incompatibility being major disadvantages.
So think twice before goin for 64 bit ..
