1) Message boards : Questions and problems : benefits of 64 vs 32 bit BOINC (Message 20345) Posted 18 Sep 2008 by GruntUltra Post: Thanks to both of you. It's not that big of a deal anyway, as I try to match the operating system with each computers hardware. Just because a machine is 64-bit capable, doesn't mean that it will be as effective, especailly if it only runs 32-bit programs. If there were some substantial difference than I'd seriously consider it, but as for now I'll just leave XP with SP3 running on the older boxes. Thanks Gundolf for the sig fix! Grunt

2) Message boards : Questions and problems : benefits of 64 vs 32 bit BOINC (Message 20081) Posted 11 Sep 2008 by GruntUltra Post: I have several PCs running BOINC projects, most of them are running Windows XP Pro in 32-bit. But I also have two machines running Vista 64-bit. 3 of my XP machines are capable of 64-bit operating systems. Is there any benefit to changing these over to 64 vs 32-bit?
