[QUOTE="chscag, post: 982816, member: 46727"] The only reason to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7 to play games is if you have more than 4 GB of system memory that you wish to utilize. Otherwise, you just wasted the extra disk space and time since most games are compiled for 32 bit and aren't going to run any faster in 64 bit. The 32 bit version of Windows 7 runs very well using the Snow Leopard Boot Camp drivers. It's only the 64 bit version that's not completely supported driver wise. Until more games and other graphic intensive programs are recompiled for 64 bit, I would stick with 32 bit for now. Just my opinion. Regards. [/QUOTE]
