[QUOTE="Laverne, post: 526404, member: 97523"] Well i noticed installing the 64bit build of windows 7 took much longer time on my notebook than installing the 32bit build. On my new core i5 750 machine there wasn´t any difference. Even i noticed the 32bit build is running faster on my notebook than the 64bit build. I´m nearly sure that is caused by the limited L2 cache of my notebook cpu. It´s a T3200 cpu with only 1MB L2 Cache for both cores. On my new core i5 750 machine both builds run fine and there is no difference in speed or behaviour. But i switched back to the 32bit build on both machines because there wasn´t any advantage using a 64bit build. I have 4GB of Ram in the core i5 machine. With the 32bit build i got 3,5GB of useable ram and windows is consuming 500MB of ram while running in idle. With the 64bit windows i got 4GB useable ram but windows was consuming 1,1GB ram while running in idle! [/QUOTE]
