There is just too little software that truly supports 64 bit still. I wish to see more of those software, hahaa… I think I’ll get a 64 bit OS the next time too if possible.

Mr Dew: Yes, but it’s worth it to buy hardware with 64bit drivers alread.

I see, I seen a couple of desktop replacements, they are needed for some reasons, hahaa… Usually it’s because they need higher processing powers and doesn’t require battery life to be top priority. They’re usually heavy too. I haven’t seen a 64 bit one tohugh.

64 bit Winodws can only come with a new 64-bit PC? That doesn’t make sense, no wonder there are so little 64 bit PCs around. I hope Windows Vista sells the 64 bit version alongside the 32 bit version. There needs to be more education on 64 bit too. Better prepare for the new sometimes. Since the technology and hardware is there already, we just have to wait for Microsoft it seems.

Mr Dew:

There is not really a market for 64 bit because Microsoft has verboten to sell Windows XP Professional X64 seperately. (There are contracts between Microsoft and all software traders that say that – I know a software trader, that’s why I know it). Only together with a new PC.

However, some traders break the contract and sell the SB (System Builder) version of it to end customers, anyway. (the SB version is for PC sellers like Dell, etc). : “Please contact your computer manufacturer for support” and a serial label for glueing at the rear of your customer’s PCs which you sell is included in the package, featuring 2 CDs – 1 English installation CD and 1 Language Pack CD containing languages packs for various languages.
Mind you: Languages Packs only translate the elementary places, the rest is kept in pure English.

Mobile CPUs are consuming less electricity and this way they last longer, also they rate down automatically if you do not need its full power, this way you save battery power, and it’s heat reducing!

In many shitty crappy notebooks they use desktop CPUs and believe me, you won’t have fun with your notebook for long them.

Meanwhile the least feature found its way into Desktop PCs and is called “Cool’n'Quiet”

Nafcom: Sorry, that is a mistake, the processors are plentiful. But few installs the OS for you. Most come preinstalled with 32-bit OSes.

I had this huge misconception that the processors are 32 bit when the OS is a 32 bit one. Many of the processors are screaming 64 bit ready and only to have 32 bit OSes installed. I’m not into OSes Nafcom, but can you tell me why are most OSes still 32 bit when given a 64 bit hardware? And are the laptops 64 bit ready like most desktop processors?

huh? 32bit proccessors are getting rarer and rarer.
most computers have 64bit cpus even over here

Nafcom: That’s good, my next computer would still likely to be a 32 bit one though. The 64 bit processors aren’t popular in Singapore too. They’re quite rare and when you ask about those in the computer stalls, the shopkeepers give you strange looks, hahaa…

Mr Dew: Yes, some devices do not work, but when I put this PC together, I took care off that the most important devices will work (headset, printer, NIC, motherboard, graphics card, mouse, keyboard, drives).

I think people are afraid of incompatibilities. You seem to have ran into a lot of problems with drivers due to your 64bit computer.

Mr Dew: Yes, I wonder, too. And it’s definately faster than 32bit!

Nafcom: Nowadays, 64 bit still isn’t the standard. I often wonder why actually. It seems that few are interested in supporting.

cockroach: It’s great, you can try the beta if you own a legitimate copy of Windows XP.

Nafcom: Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a while for that.

And I cannot test it, because it’s not available for Windows XP X64 yet! DAMNED!
