Why buy 32 bit Vista verses 64 bit Vista

[Scott Sutton]

Hi,

I'm glad to hear your enthusiasm with Satellite. How long have you had it?
Do you have the 32 or 64 bit Vista?

Here it goes, I've also got a Tosh Laptop here are the specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 Gigs of Ram, 170GB Hard Disk etc..

So I bought it with Windows XP Media Center with a free Upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit.

Now to me Toshiba had this wrong and were being lazy, a 32Bit Operating System on a 64Bit processor?

So I went out and bought the 64BIT home premium and its amazing, I have no problems at all.

I wouldn't change it for anything all my software runs fine, I really can't complain about one single thing. I even have managed to get all the drivers with a little work.

I have the Toshiba Satellite A100 TA9. Got it in January. Best 15.4" model with XP still. Not yet wanting vista.

I'm going to buy a new laptop in the next month or so... I'm going with 64 bit, but not Windows.

I'm going to go with a 64 bit Fedora 7 and virtualize any slow 32 bit programs to a 32 bit Operating System.

But them again I made a deal with the computer gods, so it's my destiny not to run into any problems.

THAT's what I'm talking about! Yeah, baby!

If you have visited this site yet, and you're in the market for a new Linux laptop, you should ... Linux Rules! (They'll even throw in dual boot Linux/XP for a measly $175 extra.)

none of them are any good , microsoft will release new version in the next to years, the vista is very slow compared to the XP

These days all major hardware producers have drivers for 32 and 64 bit versions of Vista.
