Ja ;)

Hmmmm.. ok
Lige et par tillægsspørgsmål:
Microsoft skriver
The 64-bit editions of Windows Vista are for the serious computer users who have advanced high-performance needs and are running a computer system with a 64-bit processor. These editions bring together Windows Vista innovation with cutting-edge PC hardware to deliver access to vast amounts of memory, stronger security, and a new level of reliability. Security features such as Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Microsoft's PatchGuard provide an additional layer of security against threats, while increased memory capabilities improve the performance of applications with heavy memory demands.

For businesses, Windows Vista 64-bit editions are ideal for engineering (CAD/CAM) work, digital content creation, scientific/technical computing, and even demanding financial analysis, all on computer systems with 64-bit processors.

In the consumer market, Windows Vista 64-bit editions are for serious gamers, high-quality media creators, and enthusiasts who demand the most from digital media and are running computer systems with 64-bit processors.

The 64-bit editions of Windows Vista are not for everyone, and require a system with a 64-bit processor and 64-bit system drivers. Please confirm that your system, applications, and devices are compatible with a 64-bit edition of Windows Vista before installing.

Jeg er hverken hardcore gamer eller CAD/CAM ingeniør, så hvis jeg kan klare mig med 4GB memory, er der så nogen grund til, at jeg bestiller 64bit versionen? Den kan æde 16GB RAM, hvor 32bit versionen vist kan æde max 4GB?

Det er helt rigtigt at hvis du kan "nøjes" med 4GB (det reelle tal bliver faktisk 3,5GB) så er der ingen grund til at gå 64Bit.
Der er stadig ikke nok software/spil og specielt drivere der understøtter 64bit 100% og du vil derfor sandsynligvis støde på problemer hvis du bruger Windows som en "normal" bruger.

Der ER noget performance at hente ved at køre 64bit. Men set i forhold til de problemer du kan løbe ind i, mener jeg ikke selv det er dét værd.

hvis du vælger at købe Vista som "normal-version", altså IKKE OEM, får du leveret både 32 og 64 bits CD'er, hvoraf kun een kan installeres. Du kan altså ikke have begge versioner på samme pc

med memory remmaping aktiveret i bios, vil en 64 bit udgave kunne udnytte alle 4GB

Tak for svar og kommentarer!
