from x86 to 64bit

[dhysk]

Ok, not thinking, I have installed the x86 version on my 64bit machine. I wouldn't mined formating and reinstalling if it wasn't for that fact i have it all set up already. It doesn't run horribly slow however it does seam a tad bit slower than XP.

Question is if there an easy way to change over to the 64bit version or do i have to start over? It runs ok right now however this computer also has an ATI video card, will i run into problems. Also with the 64 bit can i run a 32 bit OS virtual machine, or VMware in general?

Unfortunately you need to reinstall to change architecture.

On VMWare, see this thread:
