Anyone help with 64 bit and Lineage 2.

[LucidDamage]

One of my computers uses an Athlon 64 3000+ processor. Asus K8V motherboard. Other specs don't matter. Currently running on Windows XP Home Edition.

I recently discovered that basically everything is being emulated into 32 bit. Is this correct?


I was wondering if upgrading to Windows Corporate. I would experience any performance boost in playing Lineage 2. Or if Windows XP Corp supported 64 bit processors more than Windows XP Home would.

I need a way I can have a OS that supports 64 bit and also play Lineage 2.

Does anyone know if Windows XP 64 bit edition supports Lineage 2?

Does any Linux system support Lineage 2? I know linux supports 64 bit but not a wide variety of "decent" games.


Any help is needed. Thanks in advance

One part of gameguard don't work on WinXP64.
Lineage2 32 bit didnt emulated on WinXP64. Perfomance boost, no.

It is virtually a waste of time and money to switch your OS to a 64bit version. (Example: Windows XP 64). While the performance is better in home for simple daily tasks such as "checking email or surfing the internet". (such tasks that should be fast --but are not on systems like Windows ME) These tasks should be fast anyways, so that's not really a plus.

With Window's 64 you run into the problem that many Linux users do. You have an overall better OS. More stable and reliable. But no one supports them. Whats the point in playing Half Life 2 high performance 64 bit version if I can't install a fucking sound card driver that supports 7.1 surround sound. Sorry I don't feel like using desktop speakers to play Half Life2. I don't have that good of an imagination.

64 Bit OS's are a pain in the ass for finding drivers that work. And you cannot play decent games. Theres virtually about 15 games on the Windows 64 that are even worth playing. Half Life 2 being one of them. I cannot wait until Vista 64 comes out. Once again it will be the repeated problem. Everyone will be stuck with the x32 version of vista. Pointless.. simply pointless to even upgrade. And that's not even including the anti piracy software they installed. (Then again.. to bad Vista is already cracked -"Microsoft can't you do anything right?") I would be on Linux instantly, if it actually supported more games. Instead of open source games with shitty graphics. If I wanted to play current Linux games. I would fucking buy Pong for the Atari.

What a waste of my time. I hate developers who won't get with the times and upgrade to 64 bit software instead of disregarding it and hoping emulation will do the job.


And Fuck You Microsoft



It's too bad the best Windows version ever isn't even made by Microsoft.

Microsoft Really Good Version:

Longer words won't give you more performance in most cases, except speciality ones - access to >4gb memory without "tricks" or integer computations actually requiring more than 32 bits. The other part of the story is code optimisation and running in different mode (certain stuff simplified / changed - like no task state segments, etc.). Don't expect miracles though, if any. When games start being limited by memory, I'd start looking into that.

Is it worth ? In OpenBSD yea :) In windows I'd avoid for as long as possible for now.

As for no drivers - well, you have BLOBs (http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#39) to thanks for that, idioticy like whql, and few other things, like certain linux retards signing ndas left and right.

I love my x64 Pro long time.

I have no problems with any drivers, 64bit is the Future and all important companies develop 64b drivers.

x64 is alot more responsive compared to 32bit, even though I only run on 1G of RAM. On top of that its more secure.

I know some games that wont run on x64, even in compatibilty mode, but they suck anyway.
