    Would you switch to 64-Bit if it were implemented?

    If you weren't using it already, would you switch if it were supported?

    Honestly, other than what BB posted, I don't really know the difference. Is it performance only?

    Yes because it would allow WoW to use all of my RAM.

    why wouldnt anyone with a 64-bit OS wanna switch for a 64-bit wow client?

    it all depends on your system memory really.
    If you have 3 gb and like 1gb graphics card or flat 4gb of ram, there is really NO reason to use 32 bit system as 32 bit system aint able to support that ammount of memory.
    simply put, if you have 2gb ram and 1gb graphics card, 32 bit is for you
    anything more, you go for 64 bit and dont look back.
    why wouldnt anyone with a 64-bit OS wanna switch for a 64-bit wow client?
    i belive he means switching to 64 bit OS once there is 64 bit version of wow.
    at least this makes me think so
    If you weren't using it already,
    cant really use something that aint released yet , right? so he must be talking about switching to 64 bit system :P

    Ok, so that's the benchmark. Why though? Is it PURELY performance based?

    32 bit systems can't handle more than 2 gig ram, while 64 bit systems can handle like 16+.

    32 bit usually has less bugs than 64 bit, but it is improving all the time, so 64 bit would be good choice for good computer

    Of course.
    If you're running a 64bit os and offered a 64bit software why the hell wouldnt you ?

    I didn't spend a crap ton of money on this computer to have it not run a 64bit application, if available.

    It's more like 3 to 3.5 GB for a 32 bit system and most 64 bit operating systems support up to 192 GB of ram. (That is in theory, you still need hardware that supports it)

    ITT: people that dont understand memory addressing

    A 32 bit operating system can address up to 4GB of memory. This will include any other components (GPU for example).

    Uhm 64 bit supports up to 17.2 BILLION gb of ram, or 16 exabyte.
    Windows 7 on the other hand doesn't support more then 128 gb.

    Given he meant that he is already on a 64-bit Operating System, (Much like myself... was a nice perk to being in a computer programmer college course, we got open access to the MSDN-AA, and 1 full key for Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit, free. I like $250 worth of software for nothing) your remark is stricken.

    32Bits less buggy? Thats not really true anymore since Windows 7. (And maybe Vista, but vista is just a big bug in general) 64bits was buggy when used with XP, an OS made with 32bits in mind then after had a "patch" to bring 64bits, so many bugs appeared.

    4 actually. Most video cards have 1 gig of video ram, making the system ram 3.
    Already running 64 OS here, so i will switch.

    This explains a lot.
