Microsoft throws in the towel on Vista
Anyway, if you read on at that link, you'll find out what "64-bit capable" drivers are. It's essentially the same thing that Windows drivers had to do to support >=4 GB of physical RAM on 32-bit Windows XP. And, as with XP, it's largely a question of fixing bugs. To summarize, comparing 64-bit Vista with OS X: * OS

Which means they can run 64-bit applications, of which there aren't too many still. To tell if you have 32- or 64-bit OS: In XP: Start->Control Panel->System and a window will pop up.

Best Vista Setup for Development
A 64-bit PC running a 64-bit OS has a truly vast basic memory address space. The 4Gb 32-bit address space was 4096 times the size of the 1Mb 20-bit space, but the 64-bit Apparently, Microsoft limits the maximum available memory in 32-bit Vista to 3.12Gb anyway, so it's hardly worth the trouble of buying more.

XP 32 bit, XP 64bit o Vista 64 bit ?
If it's a kernal driver it won't work at all if it's not signed and Vista locks you out unless you uninstall it, where the 32 bit only warns you and I'm not slamming Vista; I figure that it is just the usual bugs that happen on any new release. BTW, I sent off for the 64 bit OS version and will get it in a few

EW 64 Bit speed? Is EW written for 64 bit multicore cpu?
In Apple's documentation, "64-bit capable" means "32-bit, but able to use more physical memory". Which is fine, but some versions of 32-bit Windows could do that too. It didn't make them 64-bit. Yet somehow Vista can barely address anything over 3 GB. And, by the way, OS X is still a specialty product relegated to

Hi Merrick, I have a Sony VAIO VGN-FZ180E/B that came with Vista Home Premium. Like a lot of people I was a little bit frustrated to find that I had bought a 64-bit machine that has a 32-bit operating system on it - AND CLEARLY NOT MENTIONED IN THE LITERATURE! - and wanted to upgrade it to 64-bit.

For Ken Blake, MVP
8GB Ram = Vista 64 Bit. Vista 64 Bit = Driver compatibility problems. Far fewer problems with a 32bit OS, but of course you're limited to a bit over 3GB maximum, not that that is Vista is W98 all over again. Not really. Vista 64 bit could maybe be likened to W95 which was the first mainstream 32 bit OS.

Upgrading from Vista home premium 32-bit to 64-bit
Since Vista-64 supports the older programs to a degree, it has to account for the 32-bit code and revert back to that 32-bit code making it not a true 64-bit o/s. So your view is that a "true 64-bit OS" contains no 32-bit code, and can't run 32-bit apps at all? Certainly, by this standard, Vista is not a 'true'
