Hardware Guide for X3

[thorn]

A 64 bit OS is a must have.

Windows 7 64-bit is the best OS to run X3 on. X3 will ship as a 32 bit application.

I thought a 32 bit application running on a 64 bit system was still only able to acces a maximum of 4GB memory.
So does a Windows 7 64 bit really make a differance?

yes

maybe not to that particular software, but if you have multiple things running like a web browser and a paint program and ....

then each of them want a piece of the pie

64-bit helps them all run a bit better/faster

plus, you will be ready for any software that is 64-bit capable and Chief will be ready one fine day
