    I dont get it either... I am running an E6300, and that IS DEFINITLY a 64bit processor... perhaps since I am in XP Home, that means the OS is running in 32 bit. But I know for sure that the processor is 64bit.

    Go back and check your PayPal account. Check to see if you had funds to cover the payment (On hand), If the funds had to be transferred it could take 3 days or more B/4 they get paid Check your e-mail address (the one you used when you signed up at Fly Away) that’s the one that they will send a reply to your payment to. If the payment is in progress you won’t get anything from Fly Away until it cleared. Remember they don’t know that you’re trying to pay until the get a payment from PayPal. One last time!!! Make sure about your e-mail.

    Good Luck

    Bob

    Cheers!

    For what it’s worth….. You can go to

    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/games/gameadvisor/default.mspx

    And see how your computer rates as compared to others tested.

    that link directs you to instructions on how to check if your current windows can be UPGRADED to the 64bit version of Vista. It does not test, as you put it, if your processor is actually 64bit or 32bit.

    The PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE variable will only state x64 if you are currently running a 64Bit version of Windows.

    not really a test really Wink

    Since it was posted they mafde some changes but left the information.

    1) Confirm that your PC is capable of running 64-bit software.
    1.Open the "System Properties" window
    a.If your Start menu is configured for Classic Start menu, right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop, and click Properties.
    b.If your Start menu is the Windows default Start menu, click the Start button, then right-click the My Computer icon in your Start menu, and click Properties.
    2.Click the Advanced tab.
    3.Click Environment Variables.
    4.In the "System variables" list at the bottom of the Environment Variables window, look for a variable called "PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE". If your PC has a 32-bit processor, this variable will have a value of "x86". If it has a 64-bit processor this variable will have a value of "x64".

    The question is: can MFSX run in Windows Vista x64?

    And, if it does, is the performance any better?

    I wouldn't mind to upgrade my operating system as long as it improves the performance on MFS, I just use Windows for fun (for working or more serious stuff I use Linux)

    Yes, I have a friend that has it running successfully.
    The only drawback would be the lack of some driver avaliablilty for 64bit.
