Slow performance for 32bit programs

[Guest Cliff Tan]

Is there any way to enhance the performance of 32-bit programs running on

64-bit Windows Vista?

Re: Slow performance for 32bit programs

 

What makes you believe that 32bit programs are slow? It wouldn't be because

of the OS being 64bit. 32bit programs run natively just the same as on

32bit Vista. What programs are sluggish?

Install the 32 bit program twice. It will then run as 64 bit. (Don't you

wish it were that easy!)

Do you have any 64bit App's that you think are performing adequately, in a

way that you actually notice any difference? There shouldn't be any

difference - what you are seeing could be a HD that is filling up, or is

severely fragmented, which would indicate a system that is slowing down?

LOL. We had a user here a couple of years ago who thought he should get

64bit color depth when he installed his dual SLI video cards. Honest.

Cliff,

Are your 32-bit programs running slower as compared to what?

How much memory you have in your system?

2 gigabytes might be the lowest for 64-bit Vista.

Re: Slow performance for 32bit programs

 

Are you using a good usb stick for ReadyBoost? At 2GB you should see some

benefit if your hard drive light is on most of the time.
