is there going to be any support for 64 bit operating systems?? this is making me want to send my compu 1024 back and get something that can handle 64 bit. it runs perfectly on my 32 bit os. but not my 64 bit.

I have asked about this but i have not gotten an answer.
Sincerely,

i think i am going to take my computer back and get a 32 bit. i really like the program

isnt there a way to downgrade vista as 32bit? And if you have 4 gigs of ram swap it out for 3?
Sincerely,

There is no downgrade from 32bit to 64bit. Instead, Windows XP x64, Vista 64 and Server 64 all have 32bit emulators in them to make 32bit programs work on them. The issue is drivers for 64bit are completely different for 32bit.

As for the RAM issue. You can use 4 gigs of RAM on a 32bit OS. The way RAM limits are determined are by your physical extensions and how much your CPU can handle. Most processors now a days are are 40bit, meaning 2^40 bits of memory or 1,099,511,627,776 bits of data. 128 gigs of RAM to be exact. I know AMD's newer processors are 48bit, or 327,680 gigs of RAM. The reason for this is because 64bit can actually do 17.2 billion gigs of RAM, which no one in this day and age will ever need.

Now as for your computer being able to use it, yes a 32bit OS can. The reason you don't see all the RAM in the OS is because the system actually uses some of it. The stuff like video cards, LAN cards, RAID cards, chip sets, etc. They all use RAM, just a bit (or a lot in the case of integrated graphics) of RAM to do what they do. So when you add 4 gigs of RAM to a 32bit OS, the system takes some of that RAM for those things and uses it there. This is the reason why some people see 3.5 gigs, others 3.25 gigs, and some 3 gigs. So your computer is using it, you just can't use it in Windows is all.

Lastly, your motherboard is generally the limiting factor with the amount of RAM you can have. Most are 4 gigs max, some are 8 gigs now but you have to generally set it up to be, running RAM at a lower speed, more voltage to the RAM, and possibly more chip set voltage as well. The two towers I have 8 gigs of RAM in, one I had to add .05v to the chip set, the other I didn't. Both had to be set to DDR667 to run. All of my other computers are running 4 gigs, only a couple with Windows XP, most Windows XP x64.

any word on 64 bit compatibility? according to microsoft that is the way computers are headed is to 64 bit operating systems, and the amount of 64 bit computers with 64 bit operating systems has tripled in the last year..

our developers have said they are working in this but can't give us a timetable of when the compatible drivers would be done and ready for distribution.
Sincerely,

According to the engineers, they are waiting on Microsoft to release a key.
This key is essential for Compu to work with 64 bit.
They are taking there sweet time to do this, and all we can do is wait.
But, the system is in place to work with 64 bit already.

Any updates on this?

I still cannot use my new laptop with CompuWare which is really annoying!

Microsoft has not released anything.

just got word from our software engineers that they have no plans for a 64bit driver.
Sorry.
Sincerely,

Ouch. That really surprises me. Biggest reason is since Windows Bloatware aka Vista wants a minimum of 2 gigs of RAM, 4 recommended. Next OS's are most likely going to want 4 gigs minimum. That means 32 bit OS's are done. 64 bit is the wave of the future, and we probably won't see 128 bit in our life time, or our children's lifetimes either. So it is going to be here, and it is going to be here to stay.

I got a message from the engineers boss this morning. They have other engineers working on it but the one I was talking to is not working on it. 64 Bit is on track.. still no ETA.
