I bought a D630 and when downloading drivers, I notice theres x64 drivers listed so how would I know its capable of using xp or vista x64? Would I notice better performance on it?
Here's the confusion made clear!
The Hardware can support 32Bit and 64Bit
And the Windows may be 32Bit or 64Bit (ie run msinfo32.exe to tell)
So all Software (Drivers/Programs/ you name it! ) Must be the same verion (Bit) as the Windows (Bit) installed
ie
Only use 32Bit Drivers for Windows 32Bit install (software)
Only use 64Bit Drivers for Windows 64Bit install (software)
Ok, so what I think you are after, is advice on what to install
Vista or Xp ??
If it's between Xp64Bit Operating system and Vista 64Bit Operating system .
I'd go for Vista 64Bit Operating system
But many users still prefer Xp32Bit Operating system (ie Me )
This is mainly a personal choice
Yes, but not as buggy as Xp64BitVista to me still runs slow and buggy
