Also is the a program in windows to where you can check to see if all your drivers are up to date.
Well, you could do that with a third-party program with Drivermax, but I would rather trust the drivers straight from the manufacturer's site. Can you go into Device Manager and check if there are any yellow exclamation marks?

      easiest way to explain what the problem is, is that your ram, while effectively handling larger instruction sets via 64bit sets instead of 32, it cant handle as many in the same time, so basically your ram is half as effective using 64bit then it is on 32bit.

      That makes no sense at all.

        Looking at his posting history, it's not the only one.

        Looking at the posts here, I see a marketing opportunity for Microsoft.

        They could offer a special trial 48 bit  version of Windows 7.

        Quote
        Try The Windows n7 Junior 48 bit version for 30 days free.
        Can't decide if you want 32 bit or 64 bit? Try 48 bit before you decide.
          Has most of then features of 32 bit.
          Does not have the burden of 64 bit.
          Use your 32 bit programs with the free bit stretch utility.
         
        Order either on mini DVD or download.
         (The 48 bit version only comes on mini DVD.)

          In the original post and reply no 2 he said he was on Win7 but as you see, in no.17 it's Vista.

            Thank you ST. I thought i may have been missing something. However i would be interested to hear from the O/P given the results of the test he ran (#17) how it was and may indeed still remain that HE believes he is (and was prior to his supposed change to 64 bit win 7) using windows 7? His original inquiry seems to emanate from something that never occurred (either the 32 bit or the 64 bit). Did the O/P simply mistake the operating system he had installed on the computer? truenorth

                jeff9353, Your last post #27 has left me still confused. In your post #17 (which is your test results from the Passmark test you have this ="Operating system    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition Service Pack 1 build 7601" Then in your last post referring again to a Passmark test result you have this="Operating system    Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Service Pack 1 build 7601". Are you posting Passmark results from two different computers? Plus in fact the post in #17 is the 1st time we see the o/s mentioned as Vista (you had posted the issue as being with WIN 7 (32/64 bit)). I assume the Passmark results were NOT typed by you but are a copy from the actual test. Therefore again where do these 2 different Passmark tests come from?truenorth
