Tim Nelson Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I was just wondering what people's experiences have been for those who have started using the 64 bit Windows, and what limitations and/or problems have come along with that. I am considering trying it out for the next systems we buy, but am a little unsure that everything will be compatible with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manta Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 No problems here, runs a bit better than XP 32, I've set my virtual memory to 55 gigs, so there is always plenty, never had a crash yet, just make sure things like your printer has drivers for 64bit...

Fernando Lino Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I'm using 64bit now...so far, it's working without problems if you motherboard has the Nvidia chip...take care with the Nvidia Firewall, it blocks all the 32bit app....I had to reformat my disk I'll swith my other workstations!!!

CHE Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 It is running fine here as well. I have experienced some minor network issues between the 64bit workstation and the XP Pro laptop. Sometimes they can't find each other in the network so I have to reboot. Other than that, make sure that all your other hardware is supported under 64bit. @manta, How did you set your virtual memory to 55GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
