Title: Advantages of 64bit over 32bit
Post by: Chasoscar on February 02, 2018, 10:07:15 pm

I have Win7/64.......... Ive been running the 32bit version of MC23, not even sure why unless maybe 64 wasnt stable when I purchased. What are the advantages of swapping over and is there anything I should be aware of before doing it, besides doing a backup?

It can access more memory, which generally means that it should be more stable. I was having problems with 4K and >4K videos crashing in the 32-bit player due to the limited memory that it could use.
It's a little bit faster at certain tasks too.
 
The downside would be that 64-bit VST plug-ins are required, though most tools which are still actively supported will have a 64-bit version.
And I think there are still some features which may not have been ported over to 64-bit yet (nothing that I use).
