WIN 7 64 Bit

[andrekruger]

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.

[Stuart]

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

[rustypup]

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...

[andrekruger]

and hardware wise, driver support? i am thinking of going 64bit now.

[DAE_JA_VOO]

No issue here

[rustypup]

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..

running Win 7 64 bit since it was in beta and have never had any issues.

[Firenze]

Enjoying 64bit, no hassles!

[Kronos]

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.

[Cupis]

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!

[IcePick88]

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!

[andrekruger]

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.

[Anthro]

Well, if you had (to use your own words) FUN with Vista - Se7en will be like Heaven

(see what I did there?)

I play games, do audio recording, remixing etc etc (all basically on my x64) and it's running beautifully

[KatrynKat]

so, i'm not into all the computer stuff like you guys but i did find a problem when i loaded the new iTunes disk that i got with my new ipod.... had to download the thing from the internet!!!
but thats all, working fine otherwise...

[Puento]

+1 Win7 64bit

[KALSTER]

Very happy with it.

[Prime]

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.

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>.'

[Cupis]

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

[DJT]

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

[A_BULLET]

I had some problems with drivers
The mobo drivers wouldnt Install but mobo still worked
the Pci SATa card doesnt work but i havnt searched for new drivers
the PCI W-LAN 802.11n Card has some problems(only works sometimes and has bad connection if it can connect)
and some older Games do not work like Silent hunter 3&4,Mafia,Battlefield 1942...
