Thread: New System Advice Needed

Threaded View

  1. #7
    Thanks for the info Wiz, will take a look at the roadmaps and try to make a more informed decision on the socket.

    With regards to OS, as i said for now this system is mainly just for gaming. Would a 64bit OS with the plan of geting 6-8GB of ram down the line make a difference?
    I realize most games need a powerful graphics adapter more than anything else but will with the ram increase make a contribution to the naked eye?

    Also i was curious about backwards compatability. Are there any known significant issues running older 32bit software on a 64bit system? I ask cuz i sometimes go back to older games.
