So I'm running Windows Vista Business 32-bit. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the pros and cons of switching to a 64-bit system? (Aside the fact that it will give me very minimal compatibility with a couple of versions of emulators that don't run on 32-bit OSes)
Are you using 64-bit and wished you hadn't switched?
I am mostly worried about programs being compatible in the 64-bit version of Vista. Not to mention trying to justify paying to upgrade it in the first place. I don't really hear much good or bad about it. Except that there is a sweet version of Dolphin that runs on 64-bit which apparently is pretty rockin' from what I've seen/heard. That's about the only pro I see so far.
I already have had my share of compatibility problems with XP when it first came out so I'm pretty patient about that sort of thing. But I also know it's a real pain. Care to share your wisdom with me guys and gals?
