vista x64 or x86 on conroe?

**croc** · August 16, 2006

Just curious if anyone's done this... If so were there any perf. gains?

I'm curious too, since drivers for Vista x86 are barely available, yet for x64...

(sigh) Good thing my profession isn't as a fisherman...

But what about the AMD quads coming out? And the long-rumoured k8l? And the quad opty's that might be available soon?

So many things to wait for.

You will definitely see better performance, on any OS, since the hardware is faster.

If I remember correctly, benchmarking tests showed that the Conroe's 32-bit performance is better than its 64-bit.
