running xp home 32bit will 64bit xp speed my duelcore up

[Guest tomoian]

hi all was wondering if i installed xp 64 bit on my pc would it speed up my

pc performance i have xp home 32bit at moment and finding pc slow when gaming

on line ive got intel 3.ooghz duel core with 1gb ram 667mhz and a nivida

8400gs graphics card would a 64bit make and diffrence to performance

You would gain a lot more by upgrading your memory - it is cheap nowadays.

I used to have 1 GB and BF2 would be very sluggish; now I am one of the

first when a new map is loaded

Tomoian,

Your 8400gs is limiting your performance, it is a lowly performer.

Consider upgrading to an 8600gts type card.

And up the RAM. 1GB is pretty minimal in this scenario

Re: running xp home 32bit will 64bit xp speed my duelcore up

 

And from a strict gaming standpoint, which is the OP's issue, the video card

is quite below the required minimum.

The 8400's are highly feature/hardware crippled cards of the 8xxx's series.

Even the 8600GT performs slightly above the 7600GT. The 8500 hardly compares

to a 7300.

My recommended 8600GTS is roughly equivalent to the 7900GS and gives more

bang for the buck.

Re: running xp home 32bit will 64bit xp speed my duelcore up

 

Don't follow the numbering conventions for nvidia, since I won't buy their

stuff. ;) But I trust your appraisal of the card for the purpose - since I'm

not a gamer, even if I knew the current numbering of nvidia cards, it

wouldn't mean much. My needs are business graphics use. I want a card that

can handle Vista Aero comfortably, doesn't have driver issues, and doesn't

have a fan. I couldn't care less if it does crossfire or whatever, since I

don't ever do anything that would notice.

Re: running xp home 32bit will 64bit xp speed my duelcore up

 

Following your suggestion of upping ram, I would make it the largest

bandwidth and lowest latencies for better gaming.

Re: running xp home 32bit will 64bit xp speed my duelcore up

 

Hmmm. Well, I'd be curious to see a good, side by side, comparison that

showed more than single digit percentage differences. For way more than

single digit price differences.

Re: running xp home 32bit will 64bit xp speed my duelcore up

 

Me too.

Memory size seems to be more important than speed.

Getting back to video cards, even the crossfire/sli thing is more a myth

than a reality.

Pay twice the price (two cards) and get only a 5% boost on certain

circumnstances.

Re: running xp home 32bit will 64bit xp speed my duelcore up

 

Yes. And with all sorts of driver issues from what I've seen. Nope, I'll

pass. Put as much reliable RAM in there as will fit, throw in a decent (but

not upper end) ATI video card that doesn't need a fan, and I'm in business.
