VooDooPC January 16, 2006 Share VooDooPC Member January 16, 2006 I think AnandTech, or HardOCP, or Tomshardware did a comparison test and the game ran slower in 64-bit mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stutters January 16, 2006 Share stutters GC Alumni January 16, 2006 i don't get it. after the news that source went 64, i installed xp64 on my amd x86-64, installed steam, and downloaded css and hl2. when i launched the task manager, windows was reporting steam (steam.exe) and css (hl2.exe) as 32 bit apps. win64 indicates what is running 64 or 32. thinking maybe steam just needed to detect the 64bit through a few more updates, i waited. a week later, still at 32bit. with the lousy driver support, and most programs running via WoW 32bit emu, i figured i might as well stay on 32bit. don't ask me how or why, but as the news release said, only hl2 and hl2:lost coast were released in 64bit. css apparently remains in 32bit land. laugh and throw rocks if you want, but i've never played hl2. i don't have any interest in it. i guess it would have been smart to dl hl2 and launch it during my x64 eval to see if that was running in 64bit. short version: i couldn't get counter-strike:source to run as a 64bit app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC January 16, 2006 Share VooDooPC Member January 16, 2006 Valve didn't add 64-bit support to CSS. I was also wrong about the benchmarks, they were on Techgage. http://techgage.com/review.php?id=3889 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a game just for an expansion and never playing it. Edited January 16, 2006 by Kruten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brillow_Head January 18, 2006 Share Brillow_Head Member January 18, 2006 I really hope that software and hardware actually catch on to true 64bit instead of it becomming a novelty like MMX. I've seen 64 bit chips out for what, 2 years now and instead of the desingers capitalizing on this wonderous exansion of binary code...they can't even get a working 64 bit OS with decent driver support, and software developers deliver lackluster 64bit version of very few programs. Meanwhile the market is pushing things toward dual core with built in hardware that converts single thread code to multithread code to take advantage of this. 64 bit is a marketing ploy to sell CPU's who's only claim to fame for the last 2 years has been "can perform 32 bit insturctions...really fast."

TheReverend(c) January 21, 2006 Share TheReverend(c) Member January 21, 2006 (edited) I havent seen win64 at best buy yet. Is it only available as a download purchase? How much is it? Does it need to be activated like XP? Edited January 21, 2006 by TheReverend(c) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
