    32 bit VS 64 bit

    I have been running XP 32 bit for many years now, I am getting a 64 bit OS right now so I am curious as to how big of a difference there is between a 32 bit OS VS a 64 bit OS when it comes to CPU crunching?

    Capt. Ovious just told me it depends on what prodject.

    Some prodjects none some as much as 20%

    With AQUA and (a project formerly known as) AndrOINC, the 64bit "bonus" was quite a bit. I can't say about any other projects - some of the MMers that crunch a bunch of the other ones might be able to.???

    If the project has a 64bit app and it's coded to properly make use of this, which most are, the speed bonus is usually as much as 70%.

    This may be a stupid question but, would the OS make any difference for GPU crunching?

    OS probably matters. 32 bit vs 64 bit driver.

    So I will get better crunching out of my GPU with a 64 bit OS? Just trying to be clear.

    Hmmm...that is a good question. I believe if the project used a lot of memory, then yes, because of the increased ability in that direction with the 64bit OS. Otherwise I'm not sure. I would think they could build some advances into the 64bit drivers, but who knows if they have implemented any?
