[Opensim-users] Vista vs Win7, 32bit vs 64bit

[Sarge Misfit]

Well, my comp is 64bit, with 6Gb RAM, so it looks like I'll stick with a
64bit operating system. I think my version of MySQL is 32bit since its the
setup that comes with SoaS. I'm a MySQL Doofus, but maybe using HeidiSQL as
the GUI will help with learning how to setup the 64bit version. If that's
the case, then its irrelevant whether I use Vista or Win7, tho it seems
logical that Win7 will make better use of 64bit resources.

Btw, Walker, my current Win7 does see the whole of the 6Gb I have onboard,
not just 3 :-)
