64bit or 32bit

[Dean Connolly]

Hi - Do you know if there is any speed difference between a 32bit and 64bit system?, my models are mainly interior office layouts, desks, chairs, decor etc so not too complex. I don't do any exterior rendering. Thanks

No speed differences, no.  64 bit is about the ability to handle larger data sets.  Office layouts can easily exceed the capabilities of 32 bit system if you use detailed models, large textures, and high resolutions.  The newer engines can be more memory intensive as well.

Thanks Roy, the models i work on are between 20mb and 150mb will a 32bit system cope with these?

No way to tell based on file size.  It depends mostly on those factors listed above.
