Who is running 64-bit Windows right now?
Just curious about active forum goers.
Are you running 64-bit Windows right now? If so, do you use your system for gaming?
Would you be more likely to buy a game that is 64-bit aware?

I am, and probably if it were a good single player strategy game. I really don't use my system for gaming, though.
yes
I have a number of high end games, but it's mainly for work.
yes

YES(4 out of 15 operating 64 bit windows usually 7)

Win7 Ultimate 64 bit. Some newer games really give my 8800GT a workout but I'll be gaming with it as long as it holds up. Then I'll be staring at a black screen.
I'm not sure what all the benefits would be, but I have an AMD Quad Core with 4GB RAM so if that means maximizing my gameplay....absolutely.
Yes
Yes
No - honestly, everything runs pretty damn well on my rig as is. 64 bit sounds great, but it really isn't a huge factor for me and I certainly wouldn't just buy a game because its 64 bit. It would catch my eye at least and I'd certainly look closely at the game, though.
yes-2 on win7
yes-1 xp 32 bit my main comp for gaming and most all off my photo stuff
not at the moment....but in the future when the banker(wife) kicks down some cash.......
64 bit Win 7
Yes
Absolutely, especially if it were a strategy title that could use the additional memory and 64 bit architecture for bigger maps.
Yes
Yes
Maybe: Like pacov said, I'd look into the game more than I would if it wasn't 64-bit, but it has to be a game that I'm interested in for me to actually want to buy it. I'm not going to buy a game just because it's 64-bit. But if there are two similar games, one 64-bit and one not, I'd be more inclined to go with the 64-bit one (other things being equal).
Yes and Yes.
Not necessarily, gameplay trumps graphics.
Yes
Yes
Yes (as kyogre said)
Hell yes across the board!
I'm running 64-bit, and have for the last 3 years. I use the system for gaming.
No, I wouldn't. Being 64-bit aware or not is not a consideration. What the game can do with that is a consideration. A 64-bit aware program is only impressive if it pushes the envelope. If there is no discernable difference, I don't care one way or the other if it is 64-bit aware.
In other words, for me to go out and buy something because of its capabilities, those capabilities must be clearly outlined. And just saying 64-bit aware is in itself not a feature. Double the map size is. Double the amount of AI factions is. 50% longer view radius in an MMO is. And so on. Prove that you can use the extra memory for something, and THEN you have a selling point.
I'm runing 64 bit on windows 7.. I don't play games. I use it for graphics and video, both business and for hobby.
64 bit? yes
games? i already have mahjong and spider solitaire. what more do i need?
Yes, I have Win 7 64 bit
Yes, I have a fair number of games installed.
Yes, a 64bit game could be interesting. More possibilities with DirectX 11 and a 64 bit app than DirectX 9.0C and a 32 bit app.
win7 - 64 bit
yes
I'm not really sure if the games that I have run are 64 bit games. I do know that my 64 bit IE8 browser duplicated itself in 32 bit format and set itself as my default browser.
Yes
Yes
Not really, game play is far more important.
Yes
Yes
Depends on the genre. MMO or strategy games, yes. sports/racing/fighting/hackNslash nope.
I am running XP 32-bit, Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit, but I don't play games.
64 bit Win 7 Home Premium
No and no. I use my machine for graphics only. No games installed and no plans on buying any.
Win 64 Ultimate, on an AMD Phenom quad core.
I do all sorts of gaming.
Specifically 64 bit isn't a thing I look for, but I'm happy to see it.
Win7 64-bit Lenovo- I bought this game purposely to game with. I don't think I'd buy a game because it's 64-bit aware, unless I was already interested in the game because it looked like something I'd like.
More-or-less, 64-bit aware, for me, would generally be icing to it, should the game in question be something I'm interested in.
Yes
Yes
Yes
One of each (32 bit and 64) and yes a 64 bit aware game wins hand down if it brings performance/feature or stability improvements.
My work necessitates "moving up" and 64 bit is here whether I like it or not...and to quote my 16 year old son when I catch him on my computer and ask him, "Why not your own?", his answer is, "Yours is way faster."...32 vs. 64.
