Is FFXIV ARR going to use WOW64 again?

[Keku]

I know of no recent pre-built system that doesn't have 64-bit capable hardware and a matching 64-Bit OS. Some people do have older 32-Bit systems, but those are too weak to run FFXIV anyway, so they shouldn't be focusing too much on it.

64-Bit windows isn't more expensive than 32-Bit either. Just checked amazon.de and both cost the same. And if someone is still running winXP on modern hardware... no comment.


Which will probably be what Alhanelem said - that option will start the x64 exe istead of the x86 one.

general rule for companies is if it's 4GB+ of RAM it has 64-bit installed because 32-bit max adressing of memory is 4GB and normally only notices about 3.5GB and people get upset, and since most systems these days even the cheapo ones are at least 4GB they almost all come with 64-bit windows.
