Would appreciate any feedback regarding the following question:: Has anyone experienced any problem(s) running FS2004 ((or FX10)) with the 64bit version of Windows XP Pro? Reason for asking is because I am looking into having a new system "custom built" and was advised by technician to inquire with fellow simmers if using the 64bit version of XP Pro would cause a problem. Memory will be 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM. In other words does FS2004 support 64 bit or should I go with the 32bit Windows Operating System? Thanks in advance....

First FS2004 is FS9 Wink. And it should not matter what bit windows is. 32bit means it can only support 2Gb of RAM 64 bit can support 4Gbs or more i think. But you have to get a 64bit CPU I think. Undecided

Nope, 32bit runs a max of 3.25Gbs. Cuz I run 3GBs. 64bit supports 4GBs or more. I don't know what it's limits are though. And only on rare occasions have there been people having problems with XP ever with FS9 (64bit included.) Cool
