I am sure this arguable but I am going to say 64-bit. At the very least, you will be able address more than 4GB of memory (when you get more than that).

I use XP 32 bit and its more than fine, although i own Vista 32 and 64 and Win 732 and 64 bit,

none of them ran away from XP, they all trade wins and losses depending on the game

the 64-bit version is FAR superior greater memory is allowed for and it is also more secure.. to date windows 7-32 bit has several rootkits.. as of octobter the 64-bit variant has only 1 and its not very potent at all.. in fact its rather generic and mostly painless.

more security + more ram = you win!

i bought into the marketing facts too, yeah you utilize more RAM, ditto you utilize multi core CPU's, sure x64 is more secure,

and then you realize unless you have some video intensive graphics stuff going on, you are basically running ms word with OC'd RAM, CPU and GPU,

very unfullfilling.

As i said i owned em and uninstalled em, Crysis max @ 4x anti-alias runs wonderful on XP 32

Change this to if u say so

You cannot run DX10 in a 32-bit OS.the_ChEeSe_mAn2

so if i understand you vista 32 and windows 7 32 are not dx 10, 10.1 and 11 capable.

32bit OS will not recognize more then 3 gig of ram. If you want to waste your other gig then use 32bit. It you want full access to all your memory then use 64bit. Simple as that.

Gahh, I meant to say WinXP instead of 32-bit OS. I just keep associating the two together :( My mistake.the_ChEeSe_mAn2

I was just being overly picky and idiotic, i knew what u meant,

dont underestimate DX 9 or XP chese_man2, try playin RE5, AVP in DX 9 and then in DX 10 if you can with a Multi Boot system, and tell me if you see a huge difference, whether in FPS or visual quality, as far as DX 10 is concerned,

I know you know most of these games are console ports.
