WIN 7 64 Bit
hey there people...
does anyone have any issues (drivers, apps, games etc) with Win 7 64 bit?
i am asking because i had a lot of fun with Vista 64 bit, and i was wondering if i can expect the same.

Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
No issues with anything I've used yet. But then I never had any issues with Vista 64-bit either.

Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
i've had issue with one game, (bionic commando - i think), and a hiccup or two with some dev tools, but aside from these... nada...

Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
only drivers which still present problems are older printers/sound cards... essentially - if the manufacturer hasn't sorted it by now, they never will... so check up on your hardware and plan to replace..

Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
running Win 7 64 bit since it was in beta and have never had any issues.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.
Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
Enjoying 64bit, no hassles!
Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
I just have issues with some development tools and SDKs which are not (yet) supported on 64 bit. Otherwise, I'm very happy with it.
Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
Yeah i second the sound card part. This is the only thing i have issues with so far.
Otherwise its works 100% no Hiccups at all. Even got away using XP drivers once or twice. So ya!

Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
Also had no issues with 64bit.
After the windows installation, ALL drivers were installed. Granted, it was not the correct or most recent drivers, but everything worked. Sound, graphics, network....everything!

Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
i love the fact that all of you say the same thing, and considering the fact i have a Gigabyte X58 UD3R board, it would seem i wont be having any issues.
thanking all of you who has responded.

Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
Had some hiccups with software in 7 that ran fine in Vista, but no driver issues in either. Gigabyte's drivers are decent though
As someone said, if there aren't drivers, you probably haven't a hope of them ever producing some by this point.

Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
Just curious, any noticeable difference between the Ultimate and Professional versions of 7?
I mean anything that you as a user can put your finger on and say: 'Yes, I'm really glad I have the Ultimate edition because of <insert functionality here>.'

Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
Im a professional Solitaire Player... The fact that Professional does not have the games directory installed from thew word guy makes me sad. I need to invest in Ultimate for my game directory... and no. I do not want to go through programs and features to install it.
Ok thats all a lie. I have seen barely any difference. The functions that makes up the difference.. i do not use. I honestly just prefer black boxes to blue

Re: WIN 7 64 Bit
Cupis, once you go black...
Been using Win 7 Ultimate 64 for around 8 months, had no driver or software problems. Only thing that has refused to run at all is my old Worms World Party, but other than that, its great
