Just for reference: Windows 8 is absolutely fine. The start screen is a mild annoyance, but unless you have the intellect of a child, that fades within hours (it's not like you have to sit and stare at it, after all) Everything else is an incremental upgrade on windows 7, with some good changes under the hood. Like a better implementation of ASLR
Dude, your partially talking to people that have been complaining the last two weeks about not being able to work a login screen. Throwing something highly advanced and super computer complex like Windows 8 at them is just way too much to ask

On windows system you should not expect 32 bit application to be able to allocate 4GB of memory, default compile options would normally limit a 32 bit process to 2GB address space, when running on a 64 bit windows system.
It depends on IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE being set or not, and i think it's disabled by default.

I have removed some of topic and troll posts. Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!
5. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.
26. Off-topic posting is prohibited.
Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued.

Is this bit deficiency the reason we don't have HQ textures yet? Would the client need to herd in more rams than available? |

That means people that cannot run 64bit can still run 32bit, but those with the ability to run the 64bit can. Look at WoW as an example. Back when the first introduced 64bit I and many millions of other players saw a huge jump in game performance by moving to 64bit client. That is all I am asking for here. Is the ability to fully utilize what my machine is capable of doing. For anyone to say that we would not see improvements in this game is just being silly - especially if CCP wrote the code to optimize the use of a 64bit system.
Then they could release a DX11, tessellation and better physics to those of us that can make use of it. All I wish to see is EVE grow into a more robust and enriching game experience and environment. As it is now CCP is tied to the fact that some people refuse to upgrade their gaming rigs and or OS's. How is that fair to the hundreds of thousands that have decent up-to-date gaming rigs?
Plooooooooeeeeeeeeeaaasse. This is either a lie, or a kind-of placebo effect. Or, other changes were made in that client. It would be remarkably silly that simply moving from 32 to 64 bit, all else being equal (except the size of your pointers, which are twice as large) would give you a performance boost. With respect to tessellation... no. You've either got to go all-in with one or the other, but not both. Why? In order to do it properly, you'll need two pipelines of art assets. That's very expensive to produce and support. And... Eve has Physics? That's a bit of a shock to be honest. Where?  Look, you just don't understand. Currently, we have this many bits: ............................. And we COULD have THIS many bits: ........................................................ Do you not see how the latter is better in every conceivable way? The fact that they haven't already given us the extra bits we deserve is frankly indicative of gross negligence (or possibly even a bit-hoarding conspiracy) on CCP's part.

So, the one thing we can positively ascertain from this post is that being able to assemble a computer from kit doesn't magically imbue one with basic knowledge of computing.
If you're running three separate clients, each independent process is going to have its own block of independently addressed memory. Three clients will use more memory from the system (in which case, having a 64 bit OS and plenty of RAM could be of value), but no individual client will use any more memory than it would while a single client was running.

The amount of fail in this is so staggering I actually had to decide if you were trolling.
I decided you were serious - which, in retrospect, is not necessarily a good thing.

How much do you want to bet that the people who "refuse" to upgrade their rigs would love to if you handed them the money to do it? Or in some cases imported the parts to do it?
Entitlement much? "I can afford to upgrade my computer every year so games must cater to MEEEEEE!"
