There's really no reason not to go 64bit

Hi all,

Ok you computer geeks. I put this in the tech area, but I don't want to wait. 32 or 64 bit Windows 7. Which one for AE?

Mike, what PC you have?

Specs?

How much RAM?

If you have under 4 GB (well 3.2 GB to be exact) then you are OK with 32 bit Windows 7 - if you have more (for example I have 12 GB RAM) then you must use 64 bit version because you can't utilize that extra RAM with old 32 bit OS version...

Nope. AE will cheerfully run on both 32 and 64bit, so you might as well get the latter.

Do any of you guys know how to Ignore/Block a forum profile if that profile has never made a post, but only sends PM's?  I got a strange one from a user who never posted, named Tolstoy, who said he has recently moved to NC and was curious about other gamers in the area.....interested in getting a WiF game going.  When I noticed zero forum posts, I asked who else he is on the forums.  The reply was something along the lines of "not divulging any identification information, except under interrogation." 

I suspect it's an alias of one of our resident trolls, although much too coherently written to be Japan/etc.  [:D]

Hmm ... concerning the word "Spunk" you guys commented on above, there we have one of those "different meaning in different languages" again [:'(]

That particular word means something entirely different in Swedish. Here, it's slang for something along the lines of "Chutzpah".

Sure, Per, sure.  [:'(]

It is also used here for a person who has a lot of energy and is lively.  However, that is not the most convenient definition for us to use in the current "out of context" context.  [:D]

Anyone have any thoughts on WitE?  good/bad/indifferent, seeing as it's on sale I may be tempted into splashing some cash.

Best there is Martin! [:)]

Surely not better than AE? [X(]
Or Football Manager?
Or Civ IV?

Maybe "Best Grand Scale Eastern Front".

Martin, is Civ IV really that good? I may have played more hours of Civ II and III than anyone on the planet, but I got Civ IV as a gift at the same time I got WitP, and I've never ended up even installing it. [:D]

Did somebody already eat that?

You mean like this Danish delicacy? Packaged spunk for eating? Really?!?

Tastes even worse than you think.

Hence the Eastern Front... [:D]

BTW, I think the "Tolstoy" character PM'ing me is SLAAK.  Sent me a "teaser" screen shot of WiF, very similar to those in his WiF thread from a couple of weeks ago.  If it's him, and he's recently moved to Havelock, NC, there is a very good chance he's a member of the USMC.  They have an air station there.  Scary thought.  [:D]

The funny thing is, I'm very interested in WiF in a "looks awesome, but I'll likely never have the time to play it" kind of way.  [:D]

Highly unlikely that this is "SLAAKMAN". He's too proud of his persona on this forum to go sneaking about like that.

Come over. I have WiF Final. It is a very cool game. And very pretty.

WitE is a very good treatment of the eastern front. Right now, there are some play balance issues with the Soviets being way too strong in the late war.
