Re: [H] Win7 Ent 32-bit vs 64-bit?

If you have 1GB video card it helps a lot moving it above the actual RAM address space. There are other devices that would also otherwise map onto the 4GB space. 4GB RAM + 512MB video + misc hardware would yield me about 3.25GB under x32 where I get fill 4.0GB on x64. On 4/29/2010 7:32 PM, Bo

It maps into the address space of whatever the 64-bit address space is (8 terabytes or something like that). When you have a 32-bit OS, the address space is only 4GB, the system maps in the hardware memory (BIOS, graphics card RAM, etc.) space from the top of the address space down. That is why y

So what will they map into instead? As far as I know, the video has to map into RAM, regardless if the OS is 32-bit or 64-bit. Gary VanderMolen, Microsoft MVP (Mail) -Original Message- From: Bobby Heid IIRC, the BIOS and video RAM will not have to map into the 4GB address space (in

I second that. Last year installed Win7 64bit and never thought of going back. Drivers, for the most part, are no longer a problem. I even got an update driver from M-Audio (that's why it snowed in Maine this weekend) Steve On 4/29/2010 6:38 PM, Gary wrote: Go for 64bit and use all me

Hey guys, we have a site volume license for Windows-I might not be being precise about this as I'm not sure, but I work at Citrix Systems, Inc. and we're a pretty close Microsoft partner and so get licenses for a lot of MS software so I think that's what it is (in case it matters). For example

[H] Word 2007 track changes issue

2010-04-29 Thread Brian Weeden
Another weird one. Recently. when I open Word documents which have track changes in them, Word opens the doc and default to showing the final document without markup. This is quite dangerous to say the least, if you don't realize there are changes and comments. When the document is first opened,
