Should i?

[[55RA]W|Pvt.shiftydood]

So yes, the question is should i upgrade to Windows vista64 bit?

I have got a 64bit processor, according to Tune up Utilities 2008.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/2057/ordermedia/default.mspx

And is this for free? Call me blind but i have not seen a price tag on this.

Also many sites recommend 4gb or more ram, currently i have got 3gb of ram, so should i actually get some more. I have 2 slots on my mother board so if i do, I'm going to need something like 2x2gb.

So is 64bit actually worth it?

Thanks Shiftydood :thumbsup:

No, but it's not that big apparently:

You can order either of these alternate media for a minimal fee, including shipping and handling.

Re: Should i?

If you really want 4 GB RAM sure. But it's not free, and there's no real reason to upgrade unless you have games/programs that run better in 64-bit or you want to be future proof.

Yea, 64-bit is good but someone had to say it

Re: Should i?

Don't get electronics off ebay. If they go wrong, you won't get a refund or RMA.

Re: Should i?

If you want to upgrade to 4 gigs now go for it, but also understand that windows 7 will be released in 09/early 2010
