vista x86 or x64???

hello. i'm planning to buy a laptop and have seen that most of them come
with vista 32 bit.

i'm planning to ask the manufacturer to give me x64 instead.

according to u which is better on core 2 duo laptops... x63 or x86 ???

Not sure which will be better on a laptop, but if it's anyhing like my
experience with x64 on a desktop machine, then I'll recommend you go
with Vista x64. It's faster and can use more memory than it's 32-Bit
counterpart.

Just make sure you have Vista x64 drivers for all you external devices
such as hard disk enclosures, printers, scanners, etc.

i think the manufacturer will give me the x64 drivers.

The only prob with the 64bit would be seeing how much RAM the laptop's
motherboard can accomodate!

32 Bit software is said to experience a 9% boost in performance on Vista
x64. But there are some challenges that still exist to achieve a general
smooth experience on the OS, application and device driver wise. I would
stick with 32 bit Vista for time being. You can migrate from 32 to 64 bit in
future when things
get better support wise from the industry.

Its really for a specific segment of the market that understands the
capabilities, advantages and disadvantages of using it, the biggest
advantage of all has to be the support for a larger memory address space
that allows you to do more number crunching with scientific, financial and
other engineering applications that use a lot of memory. Hopefully in the
future, more mainstream applications will support the platform and harness
its capabilities, but with the majority of systems coming with 1 to 2 GBs of
memory, and 64 bit really addressing larger amounts up to 128 GBs, you won't
see a lot of apps for now. I am not aware of any laptops that go beyond 4
GBs of RAM anyway, so it basically makes sense again to stick with Vista 32
bit.

For most uses, yes. 1GB would be enough. If your budget can handle it,
try and get a laptop with 2GB. Or at the very least, if you can only go
with 1GB, make sure about what the upgrade options are and whether or
not you can go to 2GB later on.

The original Apple II had 4 kb of RAM. The original IBM PC had either 16 kb
or 64 kb of RAM depending on how you ordered it. Note that those are kb not
mb or gb. Don't be short sighted in your predictions. It's easy to imagine a
future with systems that come with tb of RAM.
