Windows 7 via Bootcamp, x86 or x64?

[Ukeee]

Hi guys! I just got my new macbook pro 13" inch. I'm going to install windows 7 via bootcamp to play mostly games and some apps and I wanted to know if the 64bit version would run better. My mac is the 2.66ghz and 4gb ddr3 one.

Thanks!

I got x64 on mine, don't see any reason to go otherwise!

If you have 4gb of RAM you should choose 64 bit over 32 bit, reasong being that with 32 your OS will not be able to read all of your RAM. It helps, especially when gaming.

definitely get the 64 bit if you have 4gb or more ram, there is no reason to use 32bit (x86) in your case.....
