    I am curious. What made you decide to use 64-bit on a system that small?

  • @nick99nack 64-bit works without any problems, plus, it uses less than a gigabyte of ram.

    You do not have to have a large computer to run a 64-bit operating system. Form factors of computers really don't matter in terms of bits.

    I don't think he was referring to the physical size of the computer; instead he was referring to the amount of RAM (2 GB, at which the limitations of IA-32 don't really manifest themselves).

    XP x64 edition uses <250 MB idling on my HP Z600 workstation.

    Ah yes, that does make sense. I figured he meant "small" as in the memory size and not the form factor of the computer. Never mind what I previously said then.

  • Yes, I meant small resource-wise. That wasn't the best choice of words. I was tired.

    32-bit OSes seem to run better than 64-bit on lower-end systems, at least in my experience (plus better compatibility). That's why I was curious.

    Inspiron 535s:
    Intel Pentium-DC e5300 @ 2.60ghz
    2GB RAM
    320GB hdd
    Windows 10 1809 x64

    Windows 10 is shit on it. Today it just stopped booting and threw an error. Am thinking to downgrade to 2000. Like i said on my thread about Win7 eol.

    Oh now, don't be all pushy with Windows 10. It's a fine OS, but sometimes it may need a tiny bit of help. But there would definitely be no sense in downgrading that PC to something lower than Windows 7, though. But hey, that's your decision :p

    My main pc:
    Motherboard: Asrock N68-GS4 FX
    CPU: AMD FX 4320 (Quad Core)
    GPU: Sapphire ATI Radeon 4650 512 MB DDR2 (Yes DDR2, not GDDR2 or GDDR3)

    Edit: now celeron's amount of mhz is 700 and not 750 mhz because it's laptop only celeron

  • Also 64bit adds twice the number of registers and the registers are 64bit, so if you aren’t exceeding the limits of the system resources (using too much RAM, etc) then the 64bit code should run faster than similar 32bit code, even if you aren’t using (or don’t have installed) more than 4gb of ram.

  • funny thing is 64 bit programs are slower than 32 bit programs

  • 64-bit adds overhead as well, at least on Windows. Windows 7 x64 uses a lot more RAM on my machines than the x86 version does.

    64-bit works quite fine for me. It's actually fast as heck compared to 32-bit, which is moderately sufficient.

    It's kinda hard to say. x64 native software does have the advantage of being able to use more than 3 GB of RAM per process, but I've usually been impressed with an x86 OS with full PAE as well, which doesn't have to deal with the burden of both x86 and x64 binaries.

    But I guess that could be because all of my games are DX8/9 and are optimized for 2000/XP (they tend to be slower if not less stable on Vista and above). They are primarily x86 without available x64 versions so no comparison can be made there.

    A few things that are available in both x86/x64 like Photoshop CS6, its extensions and browsers do yield a slight advantage to x64, but it is barely noticeable and not enough to completely switch over.

  • Problem with PAE 32bit is that processes are limited to 4gb.

    Not so much a trouble with many 32bit programs like Chromium browsers and whatnot, they'll just launch a dozen 2gb instances to suck up more ram than they need.

  • Most people that have bad opinions of 64bit vs 32bit performance are basing that on experiences from when 64bit X86 first came out. Those comparisons usually had all kinds of things wrong with them. First of all, lots of people first experienced 64bit on Vista, with systems that only had 1GB of RAM that ran XP or Vista 32bit OK. Then they were running a lot of 32 bit software, MS office, etc. 32 bit software on 64bit windows won’t give you any benefits, and may actually run slower because of WOW64. If you’ve got enough ram that you aren’t paging to disk all the time, and you are running native 64bit software, 64bit is faster. I did a quick test and booted a Core 2 Duo laptop I have with vista 32 and vista 64 and then ran the CPU-Z benchmark. The laptop has 4GB of RAM. I ran it 32 bit on 32bit windows, 32bit on 64bit window, and 64bit on 64bit windows. The 64bit version ran nearly twice as fast.

  • I posted my old Laptop's specs here before, but that computer broke beyond repair.
    Here are my new specs.
    Motherboard: MSI MPG Z390 GAMING PLUS
    CPU: Intel Core i5-9400F @ 2.90 Ghz - 6-Core CPU
    GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (i think msi overclocked it lol)

    There's also 3 SSD's and no HDD's installed into the computer. (2M2's, 1 big sdd)
    I can't remember anything about the 2 M2's except the fact that they have 500GB of storage each and they are made by Samsung.

    My tablet. Use it for drawing, watching movies and on-the-go stuff.

    Lenovo X230T
    i7-3520m
    12GB DDR3
    Samsung 860 Evo 1tb
    Windows 10 build 9834
    Backlit keyboard

    Has the 6 cell battery and the slice battery. As old as the batteries are, I get around 7 hours and 30 min doing mundane tasks. Yes, I have a beta build as the OS. It works so well I've never really decided to go and install proper 8.1. With the timebomb removal made by a BetaArchive user, I activated it with one of my 8.1 Pro keys.

    It was a close decision whether to put the backlit keyboard or "retro" it with the x220T's keyboard. In the end, since I find myself using this in dark environments, I settled on the backlit keyboard.
    I still need to replace the palmtop bezel because I've beaten that thing up.
