I have windows 7 with both 32-bit and 64-bit.On 32-bit everything works ok.On 64-bit I haven't ati radeon 9200se and bt878 wayjet tv tuner drivers. Where to find working drivers for these cards on x64?So I installed both on two partitions and it works ok with the activations.Now, I dont have time to switch like this scenario so I installed again x64.Activated. And then installed virtualbox and then installed x86 in virtualbox.The problem is that I cannot activate x86 considering this scenario.Code: 0xC004C008 when trying to activate x86 in x64.Please give me an answer this time. My copy of Windows came with 32bit and 64bit versions. I think the idea is to choose which one you need and install it.I'm not 100% sure what the licence issues are with installing both on different partitions but just because it activates (e.g.

Works) does not always mean its ok to do it. For example, when you boot the 32 bit version Windows will activate, When you thenboot the 64 bit version it will possibly assume you have reinstalled over the 32 bit version and reactivate, the server would not know you have installed both versions at once.Why would you want to install both versions anyway?As you have an ATI graphics card, have you tried AMD for your drivers?Yes, I have searched many sites, including AMD. They have 9500+ drivers.
If the machine fully supports x64, that in my humble opinion is the best way to go. Most software is now compatible with x64 OSes, and from an x64 development environment, you can develop for both. Also x64 Windows OSes are capable of better utilizing the functionality of the processor, and I've found it to be faster than x86 on my machines. Windows Vista:To install 64-bit or 32-bit Version? (x64 vs x86) Posted June 13, 2006. Most hardware does not currently have 64-bit drivers. For the most part 64-bit systems run 32-bit applications very well. However, vista x64 doesn't run x86 drivers at least at this stage.4. Vista x64 does not support 16-bit software.
I can buy a new graphic adapter.I want to run the tv tuner in a virtualization x86 environment to watch at tv, but since is not legal to run both simultanously, I will buy a new tv tuner, because I cannot find bt878 driver to work on x64, and I dont want to run 32-bit os I want to run the64-bit.
All,I'm a little confused with the terminology here. Can someone offer me a little bit more insight into the primary differences between these two terms? Here is the wiki, which to me explains perfectly well the difference between the 2 notationsof the architecture types in the first portion of the article:Where I get fuzzy is when downloading software or even talking to others. Are there any standards that we can consider 'absolute' in today's world? For instance, if I download software and I see a version without an 'x-##'notation next to it can I consider it to be appropriate for 32-bit architectures? And if there is x-64 next to an installer version, can I consider that to be appropriate for 64-bit architectures??

I've run into this quite a bit where terms arethrown around so much that people start getting confused as to what is what. I'm not really a fan of that.
Can anyone offer any insight into this?? X64 is for drivers and systems that us the 64-bit extensions to the traditional Intel architecture.Don Burn Windows Filesystem and Driver Consulting Website: Blog: you for the reply. It sounds as though to me that it's pretty safe (but still not 100% certain) that whenever I see 'x86' I can be pretty sure that the installation will be compatible with a 32-bit windows OS if it has an Intel processor at leastas new as the Pentium?
That's virtually what you said, correct??Likewise with the x64 label for 64-bit windows OS's running on Intel chips??thanks! That was extremely helpful. Also too, I assume when you say '64-bit extensions' you simply are referring to 64-bit operating systems rather 32-bit ones?again, thanks. No I am using the 64-bit extensions to mean the extended instruction set that added 64-bit addressing and data to the Pentium style architecture. I say that because until recently in Windows you would also see the IA-64 which was the Itanium architecturefrom Windows.As far as OS, there is a x64 version of Windows that requires drivers compiled for x64, and an x86 version of Windows that requires the drivers compiled for 32-bit.Don Burn Windows Filesystem and Driver Consulting Website: Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/WinDrvr.

Can I dothat?
Is that safe? I realize that there are other relevant details like drivers, etc. But I'm looking for the silver lining here. Is there anything 'static' to be found in this little endeavor??
Where's themagic at Don??
