x64?

[Juice Daddy]

so... if I had x64 computer, would I get 64bit color?

 

[horndude]

no

 

[Juice Daddy]

then whats the point?

is it really that much faster?

what if I put an x86 OS on it, would it still be faster?

 

[horndude]

barely

the point is a wider data path(bus) allows the computer to take bigger bites of data at a time thus making it faster, but the catch is there has to be apps to take advantage of it, at this stage there arent very many yet........its been out for years yet microsoft just started supporting it

apple even to this day with the 64 bit PPC architecture still does not have a 100% 64 bit OS, while most of it is, some of it is still 32 bit

anyway, it wouldnt change the color depth to begin with, thats a video card issue and how the OS deals with it

 

[Juice Daddy]

are there 64bit+ color depth video cards?

 

[horndude]

dunno, isnt 2^32 colors enough?

 

[Juice Daddy]

hmmm... I guess so...
