64 bit system

[The Slayer]

well guys, i got a problem. and its a big one. and i am getting very very sick of it. my pc, after formatting almost 12 times, still keeps giving BSOD's, errors, it laggs, after it has been running like 2 hours, its damn slow. i can't play anymore. if i play cod, the next thing i do, totally slows my pc down . i am sick of it. i found out that hp introduced a new pc. but it is a 64 bit. its supports to 8 gb ram. but my other pc is 32 bits. and only supports 3 or 4 gb. i would love to by this pc. but i was wondering, if u can run all the games (cod4, cod 5, cod6, cod BO soon, ... medal of honor allied assault and stuff,...) on a 64 bit system. my brother says it probably wont run. i think it can. but my bro knows lots more of pc then me. so i was wondering, who is right now ? any help will be appreciated

Yes they will run. FYI, 64 bit supports far more than only 8GB of RAM.

 

[The Slayer]

even the old medal of honor game ? cauz i can't run it with my 32 bit system on vista. so i just installed my old xp back. and a friend of me, claims that he as tried hours and hours to install msn. my bro tells me cauz it is only written for 32 bit. i really would want this pc. and i really need some good advise before i buy it. i will so to put the link here to so u guys can review it, and tell me if it is good or not. do NOT forget that this pc is mostly for my schoolwork. and eventually for my games to. thanx

Tell your bro to do some research...

Windows 7 64-bit will run 32-bit games without any problems. I can tell you from personal experience. Besides being a Sys Admin, I run Windows 7 Pro 64-bit at home and play CoD4, CoD5, and any other game out there. I haven't run across a single game I couldn't play.

 

[The Slayer]

ok thanx. now i can finally get a new pc

Don't worry, the 64-bit system will run any game you want to play.
Your brother may be thinking of XP 64-bit, which had terrible support at launch and I think pretty much the whole time.

E/ If I were you, I'd go with a different computer, though. HP is not all that good, especially for gaming.
Since you don't seem like you'd want to build it yourself, could I recommend some nice prebuilt gaming computers? All I need is your budget.

 

[The Slayer]

well . my pc is mainly for my school work. and not for gaming. gaming comes later. budget: 1000 €. certainly not more. no need for a mouse or keyboard. i need a good proccessor: i prefer intel. graphic card: nvidia prefered. win 7 will do good.

 

[Ph?bus]

1000 Euros? Okay.
Any online retailers you know of that are in your area/ship to your area?

Theoretically a 64 bit OS can support upto 16 exabytes of , almost equal to 16 billion gigabytes.
32 bit is well... finished, for me at least.

[Ph?bus]

Okay, I'll see what I can do.

XP64 user here. Launch for the Itanium version was ~2001, and that was god awful. What was released in 2005 shares the same codebase as Server 2003. That release is an entirely different kettle of fish. Folks bemoaning how 'unstable' x64 is for XP or Server 2003... odds are, they have not used it since 2006.

I've got a pretty healthy steam library. Of the games, the DRM in Blazing Angles: Squadrens of WWII does not work. GFWL fails with Dirt 2. Borderlands has some issues with the x64 video drivers. That is it. TF2, CS:Source, COH, COD series, Supreme Commander series, C&C, RA... it all just works. It is far more compatible than with Win7 (x64). Most folks don't have boxes with both.

Apple's Itunes is stupid. That required a bunch of work to get to run, mostly because the installer makes many, many wrong assumptions about XP64.

 

[The Slayer]

i use apple itunes and safari. these programms must run. safari more less then itunes. but it would be nice though

build a comp man, its cheaper. Just do alot of research before you buy expensive hardware.

You don't have to be smart to build a computer. It's as simple as x goes in x slot, (its labeled for you) and plug x into x.

ATI had a demo with a monkey putting in a video card..

 

[Ph?bus]

I know of a pretty decent guide for building a comp, if you need it.

 

[The Slayer]

nah, its ok. how is the build coming for me ph?bus ?

Idk about that, I think they are confused with the NTFS files system that can hold that ammount of memory. I see its 16 terabytes is the total.

Or maybe thats the limit Microsoft has on their OS
