Any other 32bit veterans out there?

[Blue Heron]

I'm using an Athlon XP 2800+ 2083 MHz 68.3 W 32-bit processor since 5 Years, and actually I see no reason to change this :KS

Anyway are there others who never upgraded to 64 bit?

edit:
With 32bit veteran I meant someone who owns a 32 bit processor as their latest processor and cannot run 64bit Operating Systems anyway.

These users have 4years+ old CPUs.

However the poll question is ambiguous and should be:
In which maximum bit mode is your latest processor designed?

I guess the poll is therefore useless.

Ive got a Intel Core 2 Duo that is 64 bit, but i dont use 64 bit software. So far i dont see the need as most of the compatibility is not there yet. Id rather have stability than speed.

I am still using 32 bit here, nothing wrong with it as its not going anywhere anytime soon

[Joeb454]

I use 64 bit, just because I can :lolflag:

I only went to 64 bit a couple of months ago just to see what it was like, and then I tried Hardy x64 and flash worked, so I kept it :)

There's no reason to change to 64Bit any time soon.

My 1.6GHz P4 and 1.86 GHz pentium-M aren't going anywhere.

I wouldn't mind if my P4 caught fire, rolled over and died though, then I'd have an excuse to get something that goes faster and sucks down less power...

I only have one PC here that can run 64 bit but I choose to continue to run 32 bit as the advantages of 64 bit at the moment are not enough to overcome the problems and limitations.

I lose abut 500 mb of my four gigs of ram doing this but I have never seen it use much more then a gig anyway.

i used 64 bit mainly becuase its faster for video encoding

I typically have 32 bit disks around as I often give them out and don't want to get into such technical details (ask the average person what CPU they have and you'll see).

I use 32 bit on my desktop, although I have a 64 bit CPU because I started with 32 bit and have upgraded since then.

I use 64 bit on my laptop. I might do a fresh install with the 64 bit version, I don't know.

[Joeb454]

LaRoza I did a fresh install of Hardy (I don't like dist-upgrading, I like to start afresh with each version :))

Though perhaps I'm picky...:)

The laptop has a fresh install of Hardy (from several weeks ago).

The desktop "just works", and I may not get Hardy very quickly.

I have a Petium 4 with 64 bit compatibility (it's one of the laaaaaate models). I also have a Core 2 Duo, but both machines use 32 bit OSs. I never saw a need for 64bit, for me, anyway.

[Joeb454]

My laptop "just worked" with Gutsy too...though I couldn't resist with Hardy...luckily, everything "just worked" better with it, so it was all good.

As I'm sure you've suggested before, try a Live CD in the desktop :)


Oh....and an am somewhat of an update lover....:lol: I like to have the latest software...unless is doesn't work, then I couldn't care less :)

AMD Athlon XP 2500 here @2.2ghz running 32bit Dapper and Gutsy (along with others).

My processor is an AMD Athalon XP 64bit 3800+, 1MB cache, bought it almost 2 years ago.

I was actually thinking of buying some new parts, and make me a new computer, to run Windows and Cubase SX 3 on, so I could make music.

But as others before me said, this one isn't going anywhere yet, probably not for at least another year.

[Inferied]

This isn't the right place, but... WTF is 64 bit and how can I get it to work???

[TenPlus1]

AMD Athlon XP 2400+ here... 32-bit, works like a charm...

[Blue Heron]

dammit, I guess I formulated the poll question in a wrong way 8-[

Actually it should be only about weather the processor is 32 or 64 bit, not about the operating system :(

[lswest]

my amd dual core in my laptop runs 32-bit OSes and my PC (P4 @ 2.60GHz) is only 32-bit. Reasons to change? None that i've seen so far.

Ah, just saw the last post, then no, my laptop runs a 64 bit dual core, but my PC is still 32-bit, and that probably won't change (until i get the money together for the parts for the PC i plan on building, which will have a dual core)

[insane_alien]

i one of the relatively few people that actually need 64-bits(knocks DAYS of processing time for some of the applications i put through it) but my server still uses a 32-bit, 700MHz processor. the load never gets above 1 on it so i don't need to change it, maybe when it breaks.

but my number cruncher definitely needs all 64 and a smidgeon of overclocking.
