    POLL: how many run on 32bit all the time?

    just wondering, with all the new cards out now being able to handle 32 bit quite easily, specially in games, if anyone still switched to 16 bit when playing games.

    BTW. pricewatch has the 64DDR Radeon Retail for about 190.

    I run 32bit in any game that supports it on my Prophet II GTS.

    My V3 doesn't support 32bit for 3D

    I need to get a GeForce or Radeon anyway. This card is pretty good for OpenGL or Glide games, but it really sucks for Direct3D.

    32Bit all the time on Evil Kyro.

    The worst system is not the one that has slowest QIII frame rate, but one that not works correctly.

    I run 32bit whenever I can on my Geforce DDR but some games I have problems with and have to run at 16bit to get a smooth frame rate. I could lower my resolution but I prefer to play all my games at 1024x768.

    You know, I've seen some damn long descriptions of where people live, and I was just wondering how freakin' long of a location they actually allow you to write in here. Looks like it's quite a bit. Oh well, if the space is here I'll use it!!! :)
