請教師兄師姐們：
星期天打算換新電腦，不知應該裝 Win 7 的32-bit 還是 64-bit 好呢？
因日後裝 Photoshop CS5 學習；聽聞裝 Win 7的64-bit個Photoshop CS5 會行得快D。其實 CS5是否也有分 32-bit和 64-bit？如有的話，是否應買64-bit + Win 7 64-bit才正確呢？
但自己又心裝了 Win 7 64-bit後，以前用開Win XP 32-bit的softwares 會用唔到？例如，之前係 Win XP 32-bit 用開個 View NX，唔知係新電腦 Win 7 64-bit 重可唔可以再用得翻？很頭痛！希望各位師兄師姐幫忙！

謝謝賜教！

If you won't be installing old vintage 32bit applications or old hardware with old 32 bit drivers, 64bit would be better as it would run faster and can handle more than 3G of RAM (very important for ram hungry apps such as CS or video editing software).

Yes.

Yes.

Only very old application and drivers released in the early days of XP or those left over from the pre-XP era would have problems. I think WIn 7 Professional with 32 bit compatibility box may be able to handle some of those cases.

>例如，之前係 Win XP 32-bit 用開個 View NX，唔知係新電腦 Win 7 64-bit 重可唔可以再用得翻？

More recent vintage 32 bit applications should be OK, especially something like View NX.

I am using WIn7 64bits. Most of my applications run OK. Some have very minor problem which I can live with (such as Office XP, which have some odd behaviors and Outlook is restricted to only one user). In other cases, I can easily find replacements or not a big deal to live without them. E.g. I used to have Photoshop Element 2.0 which doesn't run under Win7 64 bit but I just download Paint.NET which is free and better. Some old webcam type of hardware may not work but they are so out of date you might as well buy a new one.

如用緊win64, 必定安ps64

如用緊win32, ps64都安唔到， 唔駛諗

[Q=Q]

我用win64,安装ps64,會問你是否要裝64和32,我選都要,

[kingkonghk]

Ps32同64同時都安晒， 不過我唔會用32
