Would appreciate any feedback regarding the following question:: Has anyone experienced any problem(s) running FS2004 ((or FX10)) with the 64bit version of Windows XP Pro? Reason for asking is because I am looking into having a new system "custom built" and was advised by technician to inquire with fellow simmers if using the 64bit version of XP Pro would cause a problem. Memory will be 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM. In other words does FS2004 support 64 bit or should I go with the 32bit Windows Operating System? Thanks in advance....

First FS2004 is FS9 ;). And it should not matter what bit windows is. 32bit means it can only support 2Gb of RAM 64 bit can support 4Gbs or more i think. But you have to get a 64bit CPU I think. :-/

Nope, 32bit runs a max of 3.25Gbs. Cuz I run 3GBs. 64bit supports 4GBs or more. I don't know what it's limits are though. And only on rare occasions have there been people having problems with XP ever with FS9 (64bit included.) 8-)
