what's better for gaming, 64 or 32 bit version?
Many would go 64-bit but when issues arises some would advise going to 32-bit.

i have heard that you lose fps on crysis 64 bit, is this the same with all games in 64 bit?
Many games perform well on 64-bit but more over than not more issues arise but this does not apply to all games just some, some of the good ones that is.

There is really no reason to have to apply ram patches and not be able to use 64 bit applications when you can get the 64 bit windows and use that instead.
Wait you've lost me where did the 64-bit applications come from when were talking about here are pc games. New pc games like Crysis that were developed using 32-bit assembly language that are being run on a 64-bit platform that encounter drawbacks.

If anyone has any compatibility problems with an old game,there are virtual machines on which you can install win 95 and up to game to your heart's contend.
Virtualization is the way I agree but would anyone bother to go through that whole process when they can just run it natively without the issues.
An example of an old game, lets say Fallout 3 and Windows 7 64-bit with its truck load of issues. Explain to me why on Windows 7 32-bit it doesn't have those same problems?
Dude it's absolutely cool to patronage of 64-bit but minimize the bashing of 32-bit when it gets upgraded and schools 64-bit on gaming.
